I've ran into yet another article from a very popular website with a false title but correct information. In this case, it goes to Gamespot at the following link:
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-flash-sale-this-weekend-20-games-for-1/1100-6421880/
Now when I read that I immediately thought it was, ya know, 10 games for $20. Meaning, you get all 10 games for $20 because that's what the title says. Otherwise the title should have said "10 Games for $10 Each" but they want that view count so instead they make an immoral decision to word the title incorrectly or at the very least very skeptically.
This doesn't bother me in this particular article and generally it doesn't bother me personally pertaining the information giving. What does bother me is the amount of views this article is going to get because of the falsely worded title which sits at the top of Google when you type in "$10 games on Playstation". Where as IGN is below the ranking but with the correct terminology. That can be seen here:

and here:
https://www.google.com/webhp?tab=ww...YDYDw&ved=0CBMQ1S4#q=$10+games+on+playstation
Thoughts on this? I don't want a trend to start, especially with the big guys. Smaller reviewers/reporters would be devastated by pulling something like this.
