A game being shitty isnt false advertising. This is such a loose way to define scams that it actually hurts calling real scams out

[-] architect 6 points 18 hours ago

No. No you don’t have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Scam citizen has over ten years of history. If you knew it you would not hesitate to call it a scam! They lied to the original Kickstarter investors right out the gate and that was the first scam of many scams!

What are you doing here? Like... What's your goal? Why are your defending this shit ass "game" studio?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 17 points 1 day ago

I agree on both points but there's a difference between Halo 4 being genuinely ass (shitty) and No Man's Sky releasing on false promises and outright lies (false advertising).
One of these i consider a genuine scam (upon release, anyway).

Admittedly, I'm not the authority on SC; where would you place it on the scale? Because from what ive heard there were/are lots of empty promises.

If you gave a number score halo 4 is 100% no mans sky is 0% , star citizen would probably lay somewhere at like 60%. The main, biggest issue being time and not being able to meet their own set goals. They eventually do get there, but then they also add new stuff behind it that they eventually get to, and they are (seemingly) pretty transparent about everything. (Or were ig idk i havent paid any attention in like 5+ years and its not like i was hardcore following it before that)

Its not like im an authority either but every topic involving it is so vitriolic and hyperbolic and people do say empty promises but they either dont specify, its flatout untrue, or its back to their timeline (which ill reiterate doesnt equal scam to me bc there IS a game you can play, and some people even like it despite me thinking its not very good, that encompasses the things theyve talked about, just at a snails pace). Is there something thats gotten cut or whatever? Im certain, theres no game that implements every single idea theyve ever had . But the big things and overarching gameplay is as advertised. All of this to say, the real issues are drowned out by people who've only read sensational headlines and its frustrating to read, drowns out bringing up new issues etc.
