Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

    If SC simply showed their original roadmap and timeline, it would speak to itself if it is a scam or or not.

    As someone who bought in from the start (when everything was bundled), the argument of “not a scam” fell through when they started to hide their original roadmap.

      Just to clarify, which roadmap are we talking about?

      • The changes to the release view from last year or so?
      • One from CitizenCon after addition of full planet exploration?
      • One from the early days where SC was suppose to be a prettier Freelancer with planets separated by a loading screen and consisting of a small hub for activities?

      I’d like to make sure which one we’re talking about.

      Edit: I’d also like to add, how far are we going with people being scammed?

      I can understand this view for early backers (I’m one of them) but what about people who decided to drop money on the game in the last 2 or even 5 years? Were they also scammed despite hundreds of articles about delays, issues and thousands of people yelling about a scam every time SC is mentioned?
