I don't think SC has delivered on $50m (or whatever absurd figure they have now reached) worth of value. However, "SC is a scam" meme hails from years ago and the game has been under continuous development since then. There are now viable and enjoyable gameplay loops. You can do all the things with spaceships. The absurd level of scale has been delivered. But, the game is a mile deep and an inch wide (the exact opposite problem to Elite Dangerous) - there is very little content. It's also a buggy mess. I am also somewhat upset with my purchase - in the intervening years I have grown to have less time, and the gameplay is too realistic/hardcore for a casual. I probably won't be playing it. Regardless, your stance on the game is problematic from a factual standpoint: 2 minutes in the game would prove you wrong to anybody - a result that can be replicated a couple of times each year for free.

To be fair, I don't exactly think it's a scam (or at least, I certainly don't think it _started_ as a scam) but has just been horribly mismanaged to the point where I think it is now beyond saving. It has taken such a long time to make that the technology stack it's built on is now horribly outdated, but it's also far too big to redo in a new and more fit for purpose engine. They should have stopped adding more features years ago and instead spent as much effort as possible to get the basics done. I honestly don't think it can be recovered at this point.
