Star Citizen might take the cake, I say as an original Kickstarter backer of Star Citizen.
What's the current state of that? Haven't really kept up with SC news for years mow.
Most resources have been diverted to the single player campaign for a while. (Squadron 42)
They communicate what is being done for the persistent universe (Star Citizen) but it's a slower trickle of features due to the resource allocation.
Generally, they made some really great gameplay engagements over the years but features are being prioritized based on the S42 needs. They only update on S42 once a month, but the updates have been looking like they are nearing feature completion (community speculation, not announcement) just due to them moving more toward bug fix/QA type stuff in recent months.
The next big information dump is scheduled for October at the convention that's coming up.
They've given up on giving dates because the community is very unforgiving if the dates are missed. And in software, dates are almost always missed.
They have decided to adjust all development focus on being able to stimulate the perfect realistic animation of a poop crowning out of an in-game dog's ass.
It's still moving towards completion. At a snail's pace but it's moving. To their defense they've done some really cool tech with the game engine and stuff but idk if that justifies the timeline imo.
My money is spent regardless though, so I'll zoom around in my leather interior ship whenever it does release.
Same as usual…
