It's not a scam guys. GUYS It's not a scam quit calling it that. Just because saps, I mean marks, I mean people bought $400 digital ships over a decade ago and haven't seen shit yet, doesn't mean this game won't release any day now.
They did, it's why star citizen was lagging behind so hard for so long. All the production focus went into squadron 42 like 6ish years ago. Squadron 42 is announced for release next year and since the announcement they turned production focus back to star citizen. Still SC 1.0 is going to be years away still because they're so damn slow with everything they do...
Not just the games. Don't forget all the feelies, the physical stuff they promised to manufacture.
This guy lost a court case trying to get a refund on his $5k seven years back:

That was back when only $200 million had been sunk into the development.
