I mean... technically you are not wrong, but I feel you are handwaving a bit just because there is the 2 hour window forna refund. Not sure how the game is structured, but you can definitely make it look good enough to not see the scam in 2 hours.

Didn't play so can't really judge but from what I've seen and heard up until now it just looks they are selling promises they don't intend to keep - and that's the heart of the scam.

Edit: so I just read the studio is shutting down. Guess that explains why they released the game - might as well.
