  • scams

  • lies

  • empty promises

  • more lies

  • fake demos

Another successful con.

How would you define a scam in the video name industry?

If you think that No Man's Sky was a scam because everything promised was not available at release... then sure, I can see why you would call Star Citizen a scam.

But if you think that Star Citizen is a scam because there's no game, or no progress on the game, then you are sorely misinformed.

Yeah, there are plenty of legitimate criticisms to be had but this scam narrative is approaching moon landing conspiracy levels of unhinged at this point.

Yeah that was a scam too. Similar to fart citizen they misled people.

But unlike hello games, clown imperium games are also incompetent and unable to make a real game.

So no man's sky went from a bait and switch to a real and well made game. Star citizen is still and always was designed to be a grift.
