Salt minning, controversies, psuedo-controversies, all of these generate clicks/views. In the absence of good journalism this stuff is the bread and butter of the lowest common denominators of the media unfortunately. Nothing gets the comments sections riled up quite like a good old fashioned controversial topic.
The day when one of these news outlets writes a positive article about the many achievements of the Buckyball racers, the Fuel Rats, Obsidian Ant, and the plethora of the positive community in ED; that's when I'll truly be surprised.
I'm kind of shocked kotaku took the time to write about something other than destiny for an entire article. I stopped going there regularly when I got bored of hate-reading 18 gushy posts about destiny per day 2 years after release. And this was before hulk hogan sued gawker media into bankruptcy, I can't imagine that helped anything.
