I don't understand why everyone is calling it a scam. Everyone got refunded, right? Seems like they just had a better marketing team than development team.

The scam was likely on the investors who funded the game for 5 years.

It was only sold, presumably, so they couldnt be taken to court for failing to deliver. Technically they did publish. It was just a flop

Just because they started giving out refunds because of public outcry doesn't mean it wasn't a scam.

There are some games which under deliver or are broken on release, but this was barely a game- yet they shipped it anyway.

It's not the studio that handles refunds, it's Steam. They hold onto the money for a while after a sale is made, and didn't even have a chance to hand it over before the studio died.
