What's the biggest scam ever conducted in gaming ?

Could it be this?

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

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 dont even blame the devs they are geniuses who are filthy fucking rich now thanks to everyone

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
