Boy that was a confusing headline. I did not realise that fandom or giant bomb were proper nouns.

It's called title case and for as far as I'm aware this is a uniquely American thing.

German capitalizes all nouns, not just then proper ones, so missing title case doesn't change much.

But surely it'll help in this case, where an article is being published in English and being shared on an English language forum.
