    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.

    Edit: for what it’s worth, I’ll “move the goalposts” on this one if you come back with some nonsense around how they haven’t delivered anything yet. I’ve played a fair few hours on my ship (probably a few hundred over the last decade), despite not having invested millions of pounds.

      if you ask for money promising something and you have no plan of delivering, it’s a scam.

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

        Sorry, I’m confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we’d have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.

        Do you think they don’t intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.

        Mismanagement or bad planning is not a scam.

        Why is this a scam?

          yes it is. if you’re asking for money you should have a reasonable plan for paying it off. you can’t just take money and say well, let’s just see how things turn out.

          well, you clearly can, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s legit
