I used recognizable names, including respected names such as fromsoft and supergiant which aren't even doing it. The point I was trying to make was that the more normal and accepted it becomes, the more it will be done and it might eventually become the norm. Like the YouTube title/thumbnail trend. "We have to do it because of the algorithm! We don't make money otherwise"
