Note the use of Distant Worlds as a reference of good practice in many ways

it is very unethical to abandon a game when half way though making it, just to turn around and make a new game with the money you stole.

i have filed a complaint with the BBB against his company, i will never buy another of his products.

Not really sure it is appropriate to post here, I guess I am not that outraged anymore because I have seen just as bad if not worse from the industry time and time again...

I first saw SD a few years back but forgot about it until it popped up on steam. I bought it at a pretty discounted price of 3 dollars. In the end, everything mentioned by the negative reviews and forum posts were true. Missing features, broken features, blah blah the whole shebang.

I think it became such a big deal compared to other games that do similar things because the Space Real Time 4X genre hasn't really had anything noteworthy in a while (except DW). The ideas were great and fantastic but executed so poorly. The fact that the "patches" that get released every few months add/fix no features and rather, are small bug fixes that were brought on by the last patch. I would appreciate the effort if these patches were big, serious patches showing effort and care.

It's in General Discussion for that reason. Comments should be posted there of course.
