    Ubisoft continues to insist that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is real game that exists

    Ugh… it’s literally your job to have good grammar

      Let’s not forget about the gazillion auto correct tools that exists nowadays. But don’t expect too much from video games authors, as 90% of them have no idea how all of that works.

      I don’t think you understand the gist of that turn of phrase. The author is using it quite correctly.

        I think OP is complaining about the missing “a” before “real”, but that’s such a minor error it’s hard to believe it was worth typing out that message.

          It’s also not really an error, that’s historically how headlines are written, because back in the day they only had so much space on the front page of a newspaper or magazine to fit it on. Obviously those grammar rules don’t technically matter anymore, but they still follow them. Although it’s more so now because link previews and search results can truncate their headline if it’s too long still.
