They do seem to have actually made a good chunk of a game, though. Whether it's worth it is another question. At least it does seem like there's an underserved market for the kind of game Star Citizen is aiming to be, though it is of course easier to sell a dream than reality. To me it feels about as exploitative as mobile gatcha games, but no more, and those are generally allowed to exist despite massive criticism.

I do agree that for everything that's described there is an underserved market for this kind of game but what will be actual result be? For all the money if all the time what is being actually accounted for and who is profiting off of it especially in the absence of a finished product, and the absence of an actual definitive release date. From the outside here it looks like this is crowd funding gone wrong. It seems due to its popularity and the fanatical zealotry of those who bought into it no one wants to really challenge what's going on with it.
