I saw a recent post saying we were scammed. What are your thoughts?

I'll start off by saying I actually agreed with the post overall but I think everyone else took the meaning of the word "scam" in the wrong way. Do I think I was scammed in the sense that I didn't get what I payed for? No. I played through the game and had a great time doing it. I got my monies worth. Do I feel like I was scammed by the promises the devs made and lied about? Yes.

This is the point I think most people either missed or are willfully ignoring on purpose. Sure, the devs have put out patches and small updates here and there but the only thing they've delivered off of their promised roadmap was Hearth and Home which was pretty underwhelming. I just feel like, with the money they made, they could've expanded their team and delivered on their promises. What it feels like they did instead was take a long vacation and have gotten lazy since.

That's not to say they aren't still going to release the things they promised but until then.. until that year 1 roadmap is completed I feel like I've been scammed. What are your thoughts?
