It really isn't. Its attracting attention from other sources while disgruntled gamers will return to shit over their articles. Sensationalism is effective in that regard.

This is why news media always tries to prolong horrifying tragedies, even propping up "opposing theories" that have no basis in reality. This is why Fox loves to rag on anything not Christian or why MSNBC is completely insane. This is why every major news broadcast uses the exact same formula nearly down to the minute: Because people will watch it if you structure it right. The expression "unable to look away from a train wreck" sounds apt here.
