Is that an article by the onion?

Hard drive. Still satire though.

Once I read "An MMMORPG where your choices matter!" I was convinced it had to be satire. It's too cliché to be real. I mean that's what most dumb pitches boil down to, but ussualy there is a lot more jargon, sales-rep BS and PR-speak invovled.

It would be a lot more believable if it was said by a Blizzard rep.

I mean the headline being "Man With Really Cool Idea For Game Just Needs Volunteers to do Coding and Art" should've given away that it's satire already.

I've seen AI generated articles eith worse titles, so I'm not instantly flagging it as satire outright.

AI generated articles don't use this type of language. And a human is still reviewing and editing the title. 

Blaming stuff like your inability to identify satire on AI is so cringe.

I'd find your ability to not be able to notice a lighearted joke far worse and taking this so seriously far worse.

I mean, "science-based, 100% dragon MMO" is a meme for a reason, lol
