I was trying to figure out what was going on and decided to look into it since there was a lot of double-speak. I came across this:

The first of the implicated employees, Assassin's Creed creative director Ashraf Ismali, was accused of engaging in extramarital affairs with unwilling employees and fans

That's rape, yeah?

As ambiguous as that sentence is, buddy could have been forcing them to have candlelit dinners.

Shit journalism to leave it that ambiguous. Did the guy not find any facts to report on?

Honestly, the answer is probably to avoid libel lawsuits.

It's not libel if it's actually a fact.
