Boy that was a confusing headline. I did not realise that fandom or giant bomb were proper nouns.

- riffraff 1y agoI even misread it as "sends" and thought this was a stunt of some kind
- fhd2 1y agoAlso independent creators.
- fhd2 1y agoAh, that's fixed now. And here I thought Independent Creators was a company. What a delightful puzzle.
- archagon 1y agoI want to live in your reality. (Edit for clarity: because the literal headline is hilarious.)
- DevKoala 1y agoHahahaha. Upvote. Fandom is a pit of the internet that you never want to find yourself in. Giantbomb probably should have never happened, it never hit the heights of Gamespot.
- thaumasiotes 1y agoWell, I didn't know about Giant Bomb, but the fact that the domain for the headline was fandom.com was a big clue for Fandom.

- bromuro 1y agoThese uppercase titles need to stop, why is that?
- pindab0ter 1y agoIt's called title case and for as far as I'm aware this is a uniquely American thing.
- lazide 1y agoIt’s from newspaper headlines - using lower case starts to words looks really weird when the word is an inch plus tall on the paper.
- throw-the-towel 1y agoThat's just because you're not used to that, many European languages don't have title case and newspapers still look perfectly okay.
- alephnan 1y agoSo UI designers prioritize form over function as always
- lazide 1y agoEh, spent plenty of time outside the US. It always looks a little odd when that isn’t followed [https://www.pinterest.com/widget34/french-signs/ https://www.pinterest.com/widget34/french-signs/] [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Spain https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Spain] After all, which is clearer and easier to read - aeropuerto (road sign in spain) [https://images.app.goo.gl/iRcmkxvYX3hxLG59A https://images.app.goo.gl/iRcmkxvYX3hxLG59A] or Aeropuerto (road sign in Chile) [https://images.app.goo.gl/xcME6HEb4r1AnGS16 https://images.app.goo.gl/xcME6HEb4r1AnGS16]. Even more fun when for instance Spain doesn’t follow that consistently![https://images.app.goo.gl/P7cpegHC2unMsfJy7 https://images.app.goo.gl/P7cpegHC2unMsfJy7]. Talk about a typesetters nightmare. Still, better than India where a lot of signage is still done by hand.
- bertil 1y agoIt would be fairly easy to add minor elements fo add context and help: Fandom·com sells creator-led brand "Giant Bomb" back to its key personalities.
- maratc 1y agoIn English, there's this: Fandom Sells Giant Bomb to Independent Creators In other languages: ֹֹ»Fandom« Sells »Giant Bomb« to »Independent Creators«
