I added October-appropriate zombies to Grand Theft Auto 5

Caught this on PC Gamer earlier and had to double check I wasn't seeing things. They ran a piece called "I added October-appropriate zombies to Grand Theft Auto 5" and the entire body of the article is just "Brains, and so on." That's it. No mod link, no explanation, no screenshots. Just brains.

I know they did that shapeshifting one a while back that was also a single sentence, so maybe this is becoming a bit for them. But the zombie one feels even lazier because it's October and everyone's already doing Halloween stuff in GTA Online anyway. Rockstar brought back the ghosts and the spooky jacket, so PC Gamer writing a one-liner about zombies in GTA 5 is like showing up to a party with a bag of ice and calling it a contribution.

Part of me wants to believe there's a hidden joke here, like the article is supposed to be a zombie and the only thing it can say is brains. But that's giving them way too much credit. It reads more like someone forgot to paste the rest of the draft before hitting publish and nobody caught it because the CMS just accepted it.

What gets me is that GTA 5 modding has actual zombie stuff worth covering. There are full survival mods, horde modes, even Romero-style shamblers that work with the director mode. A real article could have gone into how the mod scene keeps GTA 5 alive this close to GTA 6, or how Rockstar's own Halloween events compare to what modders do. Instead we get two words and a comma.

I'm not mad about it, just confused. PC Gamer used to do decent features on GTA mods. Now it feels like they're farming clicks with nothing behind the headline. If the next one is just "Aliens, and so on" for GTA 6 I'm going to lose it.
