No, the game is still a scam because it’s been literally over a decade of development and every time I’ve been invited to go try the latest and greatest in their innovation, the game is laggy as balls and the servers never work. Also the fact that they have ships costing as much as actual automobiles that people purchase despite still being technically in beta is absolutely bonkers. They’ve had several waves of crowdfunding and the game is still in a pretty garbage state.
Trust me, I’ve wanted an actual successor to Freelancer for longer than this game has been in development, and it still doesn’t scratch the itch because whenever I try to play it, the game essentially doesn’t work.
Cost discipline is the last thing on these guys’ radar. A 20,000 dollar ship? That’s like a third of somebody’s annual salary.
Nah, games take a long time to develop, especially doing a single player and mmo in tandem. Starfield alone took a decade, take that and add an MMO on top with a live environment to support and it’s pretty obvious it will take a long time. Plus building a production company from the ground up.
There’s plenty to criticize CIG for but the scam claims are old hat at this point.

You really believe that mess called Starfield took a decade to make? That’s funny
Yes…because it did. You’re literally just going to be in denial because it undermines your belief about how long a game should take?
Have fun defending a broken game. Sunk cost fallacy is a traditional trait of SC players.
I’m not defending it, I’m just saying anyone with eyes can see it’s not a scam at this point, whether you like the game or not.
