    I think it’s incompetence really. They’ve basically started over on shit multiple times. It’s sort of that perfect is the enemy of good mantra at work. They’re never going to finish it.

      Why even try to finish it if you can just keep raking in money with fundraising? It’s a scam, not incompetence.

      This is exactly it. They’re continously pumping out content and updates; no scam would put in this much effort. But most of the effort is deeply ineffectual. It’s obvious that there’s some serious lack of organisation. They’re trying their best, but their best just sucks (and that’s not a dig at the people doing the grunt work, it’s clear that they’re very talented).

      I think that they’re making perfect the enemy of good…and they can because people keep throwing money at them. Most dev teams don’t have that luxury.

      I think it’s both. Or rather, their only competence is scamming people with false advertising.
