Why? Why can't they tell us the truth of it? At this point, they already lost so much that maintaining the lie is more problematic than telling the truth.
Why continue the lie when it takes more work than it is to tell the truth? I know some might say to keep reputation, but the reputation is so shot up that telling the truth might actually be more beneficial than keep the lie up.
Because they are too deep in it. You have to view it from a business point of view. I'll ask you this question.
You've invested an amount of money in something a movie let's say. Let's say you spend 10 million dollars on it for it (just an example).
The movie was already in production. Maybe already finished or close to being finished, and you found out that it's not really going to sell that well.
Now I ask you what do you do? Considering that you've already spend that amount of money.
Would you release the movie to make some of the money back because people will pay for it (not as much as you wanted but people will pay for it nonetheless) or would you cancel the movie and admit to the world the truth?
And I know the good guy in you may say "Yes I wouldn't release the movie and admit the truth." But remember there are other people behind you. Other people that don't care about the truth, or what is right or wrong, or your pride, or your story, or whatever you want, or think or even feel. People that only want to get paid. People that only care about money. And trust me people that only care about money do exist, I've dealt with two of them quite recently.
So what would you do?
The way I see it from them, it's better to continue the lie and hope for the best. They've started on this path and will continue on it to see what will happen. I also thought about something else about what they're doing but it's crazy. I know I've said I'll post it sometime soon but problems occurred. If I can I'll make it tomorrow but no promises.
