I’m not mad I just don’t trust the Devs of Star Citizen. I think their monetization as a whole reeks of a scam and I don’t understand why people defend it.
I think people can take issue with the funding model while still believing in the development effort as a whole. The funding model can change, after all.
I don’t think it’s a scam but I agree with some of these points, cig can’t be trusted with a deadline, you are setting yourself up for a disappointment if you think something is being released on time.
They have some obvious cash grabs, like the atls, which takes the tedium out of the newly tedious cargo update. But that purchase isn’t necessary and was made possible to buy (for very cheap) with in game money in the patch that released yesterday.
