The biggest scam ever perpetuated in gaming history. Well, unless you count Gacha games I guess.

    Gacha games isn't a scam, it's just legalized gambling for kids. You get exactly what you paid for, a chance to win.

    A chance to win the access to use a fictional character/weapon that will be revoked as soon as the game closes. Seems like even more of a scam than regular gambling, and that's already pretty iffy.

    Star Citizen delivers exactly what it promises: an infinitely developing sci-fi starship sandbox simulator.

    The pace of development is glacial? Well, yeah, this kind of project should have a thriving community of add-ons to be of any use, or have 1000x the developers/artists working on it 24/7... but they decided to follow a single vision, instead of allowing people to fly in copyright infringing X-Wings and dildo shaped ships, so this is the resulting compromise.
