Not only is that headline's grammar exceptional(ly bad), for a moment I thought the developer of Control was named Alan Wake. Like, how did they manage to butcher that so badly?

No, it doesn't say "Control developer Alan Wake ..."

If that’s what they meant, there would have been a comma after “Control developer” I believe.

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

This is not the place for commas. This calls for a slash.

Alan Wake / Control developer agrees

That's a perfectly normal headline composition.

Sure, but "good" is subjective. I had no confusion from the headline and like that it was direct and to the point.

I can tell you weren't on newspaper staff

News headlines aren't limited by space on physical paper anymore. If your headline is confusing because of traditions based on outdated limitations it's not a good headline imo.
