It's called clickbaiting, Nitro. It's intended to get you either angry or intrigued, either of which making you think about it more and want to discuss it with other people, which in turn gives them more potential clicks and ad-revenue, as well as more relevancy from people talking about them (albeit negatively, but when has that ever really hurt a game journalism site?) Also you may be taking this whole thing a bit too seriously, game journalism in general has always been like this, if not worse, which is why Gamergate initially happened. TL;DR just ignore it.
