How is this scam still going?! It's gotta qualify as a cult by now...
It's going pretty good. It's playavke had as a large daily userbase.
I was hesitant for a bit. I followed the development of the game for about a year before I decided to join in.
In my mind, as long as they are making actual progress on the game and the tech, then it's not a scam.
A scam would have walked away with the money by now, or they would be running with a skeleton crew and making slow progress.
But, in the end, the game is fun to play once you know what you need to do to avoid the worst bugs. That kind of gameplay isn't for everyone. If it's a "scam" then I certainly have enjoyed my money's worth of it.

True, at least CIG has a large crew and is making slow progress lol
That's not at all how scams work. "In (your) mind", you still don't realize you've been had.
Please explain how I've been had.
I paid $45 for a game, I got to enjoy hundreds of hours out of it, and they're continuing to improve it.
How and why do you see it as a scam?
Starfield took 36 to make and look how many loading screens it has
Star citizen is less than half that time and the tech it's delivering is way more technically impressive
That said, CIG has absolutely over-promised and under delivered, and doesn't deserve any excuses. But it's an ambitious project and they are making progress on the core tech that everyone says couldn't be done
