  They could have clarified that in the headline

    But then they wouldn't get so many clicks and reactions.

      The people upset that they may have had the most secret ending spoiled for them in a headline aren’t going to click on that.

        People can also apply the slightest semblance of critical thinking and realize most gaming journalism outfits, no matter their questionable quality, will realize they won't last long if there are true spoilers in the titles. Therefore this isn't really a spoiler.

        Like they're obviously going to phrase things in ways that get more engagement, which is why it's a crucial skill on the internet today that readers need to think critically and not just accept headlines literally.

        I'm not saying it's right, but jfc man, you have to develop skills to engage with the internet you have, not the internet you wish you had. I really feel no sympathy for people who thought this was a spoiler. At least this is a cheap lesson in gullibility instead of a costly one.

    It think it was implied by “rarest” being in quotes.

      “Rarest” means “not an ending and actually a glitch”? In what language?

        In this language

        if it had actually been the rarest, they probably wouldn’t have used quotes.

  It’s literally described in the very first sentence:

  A Baldur’s Gate 3 player joked that their fiancée may have found the rarest possible ending for the game when Wild Magic turned everyone into dogs and cats for the final cutscenes.
