if you ask for money promising something and you have no plan of delivering, it's a scam.

I don't know how gta6 fits here. if they did the same thing yes I would absolutely call it a scam.

Sorry, I'm confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we'd have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.

Do you think they don't intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.

Mismanagement or bad planning is not a scam.

Why is this a scam?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

yes it is. if you're asking for money you should have a reasonable plan for paying it off. you can't just take money and say well, let's just see how things turn out.

well, you clearly can, but I'm not gonna pretend it's legit
