I just think it's gross incompetence.

Docks and surrounding areas are looking good imo
I can find at least 10 vaporware hits that had nice screenshots.
Also CSE got funding for both CU and FS:R last year, and they hired new developers specifically for CU, and a few for FS:R. The amount of resources needed to create FS:R was pretty small since all the work had already been done on the engine over the years.
As long as they did not use CU's crowdfunding money to develop FS:R and it doesn't slow the development of CU, I think they've got the rights to create whatever game they want with a separate team of programmers/artists.
Scams usually don't have 24x3 testing going almost every week-end, open to all the backers that donated at least $25 on KS or $35 on CU store. Neither do they consist of the head of the studio pouring millions of his own dollars in a project he believes in. And don't rhyme with a company that got two studios with +40 developers.
They also usually aren't transparent as letting all their backers know exactly what they're working on, exactly which features and systems, art, bug fixes, etc. are being worked on, with lengthy 8,000 words updates, hours long stream with Q&A open to everyone, available on social media platforms, Discord, MassivelyOP, reddit, etc.
edit: changed quote (vaporware -> scam)
"Betas" don't normally consist of periodic weekend testing periods here and there and loaded with updates concerning concept art.
Vaporware is something that never releases.....this will never release. I am a $110 backer, not some hater who has no clue. You save this post, write it down....this game will never release.
Yea they could open the tests more often, but I think they don't need (for testing purposes) to have more lengthy sessions than the current 24x3, as they already get the feedback from the IT backers.
If they secure further investments, I don't see why they wouldn't finish the game. I mean at some point, as they continue development, the game will inevitably be launch-ready. I see no point in cancelling CU if they've got the money to keep the development going.

"Played" I don't think is the right word. Maybe "Logged In"
Exactly, MMORPG.com should not encourage that kind of behavior .

(As for the refunds, I'm aware that they do not honor their 90-days policy, but there were unpredictable events that occurred in 2020 (Covid-19, lockdowns, massive wave of refunds) that led to the overwhelming delays and Mark decided to go to the office to process the refunds only on the week-ends to avoid bumping into someone in the building who has Covid-19)

2) so he claims, did you see the cancelled checks?
3) screenshot or it didn't happen
4) you work there or something, else how would you know?
5) to replace the ones who leave, net employees doesn't appear to have increase since early last year.
6) because it took him a year or two to realize no one wanted to relocate to Virgina, bad location choice for main studio.
7) plz, let's not even go near the refund policy which definitely had lots of questions asked in order to obtain one even before COVID-19. As for the massive wave of refunds...self inflicted wounds.
