If you spend thousands on an unreleased game, the only one scamming you is yourself.
There is some forum of mind washing going on with this game. They spent so much time watching videos and reading posts on this game it was crazy. I am telling you when you talk to these people they act like cult members. This piece of shit game kills you while riding in a elevator. A 800 million dollar game that you can't ride in an elevator without sometime dying because of bugs in the game. Insanity.
People spend thousands on fully released games. Some people are highly susceptible to the kinds of tactics game companies use to sell things like ships in Star Citizen and microtransactions.
Came to this thread right after one about how MTX accounted for ~55% of gaming industry profits in 2024, which is only a 1.7% increase YoY. There's a reason these ships are sold and hyped the way they are, and it's specifically to snare people who have impulse control issues.
TL;DR - Stop victim blaming.
