No, the game is still a scam because it's been literally over a decade of development and every time I've been invited to go try the latest and greatest in their innovation, the game is laggy as balls and the servers never work. Also the fact that they have ships costing as much as actual automobiles that people purchase despite still being technically in beta is absolutely bonkers. They've had several waves of crowdfunding and the game is still in a pretty garbage state.

Trust me, I've wanted an actual successor to Freelancer for longer than this game has been in development, and it still doesn't scratch the itch because whenever I try to play it, the game essentially doesn't work.

Cost discipline is the last thing on these guys' radar. A 20,000 dollar ship? That's like a third of somebody's annual salary.
