    Thanks for typing that out. I really appreciate the example from your own experience. I’m glad your city didn’t get in too deep with that scammer.

    There are a lot of different kinds of scams, not all of them are the best for comparing to something like game development, so maybe we can find something a bit more applicable (like No Man’s Sky).

    No Man’s Sky made a lot of big promises leading up to it’s initial release.

    Was No Man’s Sky a scam while it was under initial development?

    Was No Man’s Sky a scam when it first released?

    If yes, was it still a scam while Sean continued to improve the game with the first few updates?

    Would you consider No Man’s Sky to be a scam in its current state today?
