Wow, thanks for showing me what this community has to offer with your responses, folks. Guess I'm not missing anything by not commenting here:
1- Yes, I can admit when my disdain over a thing gets misdirected at an individual, and for that I can say my comment was too harshly worded.
2- People correcting my criticisms of a poorly written headline need to go back to school. Pluralization of an object denotes possession, not characteristic. 'PS4's' in this case actually reads as 'PS4 is...' not 'Ps4 has'. An object cannot own anything, it can only express characteristics. An apostrophe 's' is a contraction for 'Is' not 'Has'.
Either drop the contraction on PS4 or drop the word 'Got' and the headline is fine. I am absolutely not wrong about this, even if it is really not the end of the world.
But thanks for the hate-o-rade community. Poor grammar and a caustic, insular community guarantee I won't be giving my click traffic, much less my lip service, to Push Square any further. Good job!
"Your PS4's Seemingly Got a Little More Powerful in Secret"
Hate to be the grammar Nazi, but I couldn't help myself from creating a profile simply to express my disdain at knowing that the person responsible for writing this grammatically unintelligible headline gets paid to write for a living.
You are suggesting that PS4's possess a characteristic known as 'Seemingly' and that the 'Seemingly' quality of said object has secretly become more powerful. This is absolutely worthy of derision, and you guys should be embarrassed with yourselves. Let me guess: You get to be your own editors at Push Square? .
