Recently, PC Gamer published an article dedicated to Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. The journalist decided to talk about the large-scale March update, but chose a less than ideal headline that angered some players and industry representatives.
The headline contains the word "wannabe," which is usually used to mean "imitator" (wanting to be, but not quite measuring up).
Elder Scrolls wannabe Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon gets "massive" update that overhauls weak third act, adding new locations, quests, enemies, and more.
Although the article itself is written in a positive tone, this headline caused noticeable outrage in the community, and PC Gamer was accused of "attacking an indie game."
The founder of Explosive Squat Games called the headline "a piece of dog *****", and blogger Asmongold praised the game:
There's nothing wrong with being inspired by Elder Scrolls - they are some of the greatest fantasy RPGs ever made. Tainted Grail is an amazing game: I played it when it came out, and now I'm playing the expansion. Great combat, build variety, and a well-developed world - and it's all fully voiced.
