I have nothing against it OP for sharing this, but the headline of this article by PCgamer is super clickbaity, witholding the key info until you give them a click. There was a subreddit called "saved you a click" that was basically taking clickbait headlines and putting the "prize info" in the post title. I wonder if there will be a Lemmy equivalent.

You could always include such information in the body of the post (that way not altering the original title of the article which could lead to other problems), I guess communities could even require this to be done for every clickbaity article

they conducted playtests almost every Saturday, during which I played with some friends and logged over 50 hours. It's definitely the most fun I've had with a multiplayer FPS since BF4/BF1.
i would say that if you're into that genre, it's a must-buy.

BF2 (the oldie) was my favorite shooter. I'll have to give this a try.

Boo, Anticheat prevents Linux gamers

It's BattleBit Remastered - saved you a click.
