Star Citizen is one of the biggest scams ever in the gaming industry. Stop pumping money into these greedy fucks.
These “scam” comments are getting old.
It’s not a scam in the sense they are deliberately taking your money and not deliver anything in return. I am confident the people at CIG want to create something unique and amazing.
It is a very complex project though and you can argue about if it has been managed properly.
I check this game out once a year maybe, but there are lots of people playing this game daily and enjoying it even in its current alpha state.
In no way in hell is it worth the amount poured into it. Which leads to the only conclusion that the money is being mishandled. Put simpler: it's a scam
After watching all of Sunk Cost Galaxy, no one can convince me it’s not a scam.
It is not a scam. For it to be a scam there has to be a malicious intention.
Those people are incompetent. That is something different.
Let me guess, you’ve put more than $/£40 into the game and want to find ways to justify it?
I wonder if now they have enough money to refund me the 40usd I spended back then on their kickstarter, when I still believed I could get the next Privateer/Freelancer.
Call it an unintended scam, just like Peter Molyneux.
I do think that the amount of money people have poured in does show that there is legitimately a lot of consumer demand for a new Freelancer (well, or Wing Commander is maybe more apropos for Star Citizen).
Frankly, I'd rather have one done with minimal assets, and then go back and sell aesthetic DLC packs to make it pretty if people want.
Freelancer scrimped pretty hard on the out-of-cockpit assets. I feel like a lot of newer space games have blown a lot of work on building a pretty world that doesn't add a lot to the actual core flying around and fighting bit, like X4 (particularly relative to earlier games in the series).
It’s not a scam in the sense they are deliberately taking your money and not deliver anything in return.
The definition of a scam is essentially a trick or deceiving maneuver that someone uses to take advantage of you, usually for their own personal gain.
So if you gave me $5 for oranges and I gave you orange-painted rocks, it's still a scam.
You could've said that in 2015. Now? It's a scam, plain and simple. Give me Squadron 42. All of it, not some bullshit episodic type of release.
“Dev says”
So it’s not happening then, gotcha
