It’s not like they don’t exist though right. Here’s a guy I bumped into the other day who was bordering on doing something foolish, for example:
Reddit, and the refund & greymarket subs, periodically get chagrin posts from people who’ve spent the needful and hit a wall. More notably so since world economies have hit several walls of their own. And this for an act of such sheer daftness that really, most people aren’t going to own up to it on the whole.
That’s why I don’t mind the 'scam' rhetoric, even if I think it’s too simplistic. If the broader deluge of it in the gaming space gives buyers pause for thought, and makes them dig a little deeper before making the call (gauging the alpha state, ship slippery slope, and possibility of a borked outcome)... then that’s all good
Because CIG’s marketing sure won’t tell new buyers those full truths. It’s all 'playable now' and 'for just a little pledge more...', with the asset array speaking of present and future glory. It’s such an unusual scenario in total, that it’s no wonder some people jump in feet first, before fully realising what they’re getting into...

I've no doubt they exist...same as those who'll spend their entire monthly income down the pub or playing online poker instead of buying their kids new shoes...but I don't see many of them on here. The suggestion was that I'm apparently considered as one of them due to having spent some hobby level cash on a game with expensive jpegs of pixel spaceships. I hope nobody looks into what I've thrown at Hellion or IL2 BoSIt’s not like they don’t exist though right.

I dunno if it’s exactly the same. ECity was suggesting to a major SC cynic that he still plays because he doesn’t want to 'fully admit the scamminess' to himself. It’s a point of view. Pretty far down the 'end of days' scale maybe, but is it really calling him dumb in that case? If the guy already thinks of SC as a massive blob of ineptitude?
For me that stuff still has an 'attacking the gambling industry' twist to it, in your metaphor, rather than showing a desire to attack someone as an 'addict'.
I get why it’s annoying, and how you could read that as a dig at you. But ECity doesn’t really tag you personally with the Bitcoin spiel much, so I figure he may respect your trip reports and outlook like I and other outsider cynics do ¯\(ツ)/¯
EDIT: (I took the 'both of you' in E’s post to be about OP & his friend incidentally. Possibly why I’m reading it that way.)

If we’re doing derails, I vote everyone spend their SC money on a VR headset and this:

The looks really don’t matter if the gameplay’s good
(And in between massive bugs, this indie battlefield totally works)

Hah, great job forum filters.
Apparently you can't say the name of this fine feathered creature
Well, at least i don't have to mention the name of a town in England that starts with Scun and ends in thorpe.
No.

As you can see, that ship long sailed out the harbor.
I'm certifiably insane 
Some choice quotes from Jason Schreier's Cyberpunk launch postmortem,
CIG's tech is years behind the assets at this point, never mind months ahead.
Gamescom 2016, anyone?
And that's a company with a proven track record of delivering awesome games, not a shady start-up run by a charlatan.
The SC fans who used "but Cyberpunk!" as an excuse for CIG's shortcomings should think of it more as a cautionary tale for SC's future. Although SC is probably about 10-15 years from being in the state CP is right now in terms of content and technology.

"That was the most exciting thing i've ever been a part of in this game"
Are there any good SC streamers that don't have stupid reactions to simple things and overhype stuff?
I mean, this isn't a go at just SC. I see people like this with GTA, ED, and many other games. I can't stand people who just get overly excited about things.
I wondered what you were up to...very secretive in chat
My computer is now upgraded. Looking forward to the next free fly and see the amazing increase in stability and performance. At least this time, if things go south, LittleAnt won't be able to tell me its because of my hardware.
Having said that, let's hope CIG don't increase the requirements further by CR deciding that the game is now running well enough to add an extra layer of fidelity, like simulating airflow in ships through pipes... nobody would be that stupid right?
