Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

I still don't get why more journalists haven't looked into what's actually going on with this game - either to confirm what's been said or to report that's everything is going fine. You would think that after the escapist article other journalists would want to get in on what it is a pretty major story in gaming, even if it were just to say "we've looked into this and there is no evidence behind the escapist and derek smart". There was that one Kotaku reporter who said he's heard stuff and that the escapist article was "unprofessional", but they still haven't touched it.

It's not like CIG is some major publisher where they would need to worry that much about a long term relationship, either. I know it's a lovely industry and everything, but that's precisely why I would expect a bunch of exposes for clicks.

The reason is that the fanbase is completely loving nuts and it's bad for business to piss off cults like that. It's the same reason why few news agencies talk about scientology and the like

These post always include half finished "counterexample" that when completed would actually easily explain the problem.

Of course there are many people following this scam.
Here is an example why:

I don't care about soccer and can't name more than 3 players of our local team, but I still read the news regarding the Fifa bribes allegations, simply because Fifa is an institution big enough so this may have a lasting effect on all sports institutions and regulations in general that may affect a sport I care about.

They might get more clicks from just promoting breathless hype. "Latest Star Citizen Trailer Will Leave You Breathless..."

Posts like that, which takes seconds to write, spread out over several years is better for traffic and revenue. Maybe. It might not be that they're afraid of their readers (most probably don't care if readers don't like it) but that's what readers are more likely to click on. There's no direct long-term relationship with CIG just an intersection of mutual interests. Ooh, pretty spaceship pictures. Share to Reddit. I've got bad brains. Where an investigation takes time and is difficult to do, and they would basically have to work on it in their spare time, for not much extra pay (if any).

Most websites lean strongly towards giving devs the benefit of a doubt while games are in development unless it's been in a duke nuukem style development hell, because when something is a retail/finished product its easier to criticize and talk about. Its murkier when games are in KS or early access and literally taking money before the game is done.
