A game being shitty isnt false advertising. This is such a loose way to define scams that it actually hurts calling real scams out

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

I agree on both points but there's a difference between Halo 4 being genuinely ass (shitty) and No Man's Sky releasing on false promises and outright lies (false advertising).
One of these i consider a genuine scam (upon release, anyway).

Admittedly, I'm not the authority on SC; where would you place it on the scale? Because from what ive heard there were/are lots of empty promises.

No. No you don’t have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Scam citizen has over ten years of history. If you knew it you would not hesitate to call it a scam! They lied to the original Kickstarter investors right out the gate and that was the first scam of many scams!
