It’s not MY definition of scam. It’s the definition of scam.
Starfield is none. It’s just like a modern-day snake-oil-merchant. If you believe all the merchant-talk how great it MIGHT be (here’s the big difference to a scam where you have been betrayed by your partner OR your own judgment), it’s just on you.
By buying into starfield, there was nowhere a contractual binding to a timewindow in which a product of a certain quality was promised. Only what they hope to achieve.
So, yes, terminology matters much. You can’t just say something is green while it’s actually red, and expect to be taken serious. No offense meant!
And yes, this kind of early-access should be governed by strict rules. Like a money-back-policy in percentage to the delivered content that was promised. But it isn’t, so it’s up to us not to buy into it, or just see it as wasted money with a slight chance something great might come out.
…do you think we’re talking about Starfield, made by Bethesda Softworks? The game that released last year, to mixed reviews and polarized opinions?
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. Starfield also has spaceships, but you can’t fucking buy them with real-world money. We’re talking about STAR CITIZEN. It’s a completely different thing.
Please tell me you’re just typing the wrong name. Please tell me you don’t actually think we’re talking about Starfield.
Why are you so emotionally invested?
