this is just a long winded way of saying it’s a scam. if you ask for money promising something and you have no plan of delivering, it’s a scam.
they have to keep developing and redeveloping because they have a bunch of idiots with more money than sense pumping money to them. if they actually finish the game and release it chances are revenue will come crashing down. selling a promise is much better than selling a finished product because people like to wishcast and throw money at their own hopes and imagination. anything missing they fill in the blanks. surely the game will deliver eventually.
It’s a scam.

Where does he say “have no plan of delivering”, out of interest? I’ve re read it a few times and can’t find that.

what’s the plan? when is it coming out? no one has to say it; there’s no plan.

It is out, get on youtube and watch someone play.

it’s out? I can finally buy the finished product? awesome! I can’t find it in steam. surely it must have come out on steam, such a big release.
maybe I’m typing “star citizen” wrong. could you link me to the store page? thank you for informing me, I’m so ready to take back everything I said once I start playing.

Are you asking this about any other games? GTA6 doesn’t have a release date yet, do you have the same worry?
… Genuinely, I do see the difference between the two, but it’s weird to me that people are calling it out for things that aren’t said. They say enough; if you can’t make complaints based on reality, that’s a bit lazy.

I don’t know how gta6 fits here. if they did the same thing yes I would absolutely call it a scam.
