This game received over a million in kickstarter funding and STILL isn't finished after 5 years.

Why do you think a million dollars kickstarter funding is anything or that type of game? Why do you think 5 years is a large amount of time for an MMO type of game?
Pretty sure it's the Homestuck video game
>>382687442
Why would anyone want a game out of Homestuck?
>>382687537
I don't know, but it got over two million bucks five years ago and still no game

This is a thread about scams.
Barkley 2. They burned through all the KS money already. Once every few months they'll post some meaningless blogpost or show a new asset they've created with a warning telling us to not get our hopes up on a release anytime soon. And then talk about how they're eating through their own $$ to make the game and have to keep working at real jobs and push the game to the side to keep going.
Barkley 1 was such an amazing game. I was blinded.

I want this game to come out so bad but...

Star Citizen, nothing else comes close.

i cant understand
it boggles my mind that people have invested such large amounts of money into nothing at all
i get that you could pitch in a little to fund something you think would be cool but god damn
i dont even blame the devs they are geniuses who are filthy fucking rich now thanks to everyone
>The Survival-Planet Universe Project
>all video tells is "what if..."
>no actual words about realization of such things
>people fell for this impossible project
Fucking retards and their money.
>>382689961
its a grander idea than NMS was years ago
this will totally happen
>>382689058
>>382688334
>>382688225
>>382688148
StarCitizen is being made and will eventually come out, therefore, it is not a scam

I'm waiting till the end of the month before deciding. I really don't think it's a scam though, I think it's just got a leader that didn't think it'd get this much attention and wasn't ready for it.

What the hell are you trying to say ma nigga?

Lol, some people actually believe this
>>382690367
They showed reliable gameplay footage at some conference and played it live. There's a working product still being produced, it will take some time but eventually it will be released for $60 in the near future.
That is FACT
>>382690367
he's just some fat kid that dumped his wal-mart checks into virtual spaceships and believes he'll get to fly them one day.
>>382689620
Most of the good devs left or got chased out by his wife sometime ago. When this blows it will be one for the lawyers and history books.
>>382690236
Even if it released today, 150 million dollars says it's a scam. Let's take Elite Dangerous for example. Regardless of how you feel about it, it's the same exact kind of game. It was made on a budget of 10 million dollars. You could have gotten 15 of those games for the same price. And it'll surely make more money off idiots willing to spend thousands on virtual ships they might be able to drive sometime this decade.

>150 million dollars says it's a scam
They must have taken near double that by now, some people have spent their pensions and life savings on it.
>>382686396
I was going to say mighty number 9 then I remembered star citizen
>>382690917
Its still being showcased as being in mother fucking alpha. And when they do show footage it's usually just a walking simulator.
>>382691220
Fuck, you reminded me of that bulletball guy.
Real investors were contending with charlatans long before they had access to the dumb public for funds.
>>382691220
That fucking fat manchild probably asked his parents for a loan to put a down payment on something and he goes and does this.
His parents more than likely wishes he was dead.
>>382686396
>What's the biggest scam ever conducted in gaming ?
>>382690805
Elite was made and is still a scam. I will never get over supercruise being such a shit mechanic or the p2p for a game lile this. The worst is the private group, solo and public interacting with each other in the background sim.

You can't be that much of a sucker? Can you?
Feminist Frequency.
She made big bucks on Kikestarter and her video output actually slowed down and the production quality didn't change at all.
Not to mention she posted on twitter a few weeks after getting funding buying $5000 shoes. Or something along those lines, it was some extremely expensive vanity item anyway, either shoes or a bag.
>>382691220
Please tell me this guy is rich and it was just chump change.
