If it's a scam it's the most poorly executed scam I have encountered. They have hundreds of employees all working on two concurrent games, which currently releases regular builds. Is that not what people backed for? Not only that but it's truly a better space sim than most even in its Alpha form.
I have gotten hours of fun and atmospheric gameplay out of the scam to date and every quarter I get more to play with. Suits me fine.
The situation is far, far more easily explained by an intense project management incompetence and a vastly expanding scope.
My biggest fear is that they can't deliver on some of their technically challenging goals before running out of money due to wasteful project management, but so far they have executed all the big tech pillars.
