"People give them money for a game" as a business model seems to be applied evenly for everyone else except CIG and Star Citizen. They were given money by fans to make a game. It currently is playable and is in active development. You put up an example where the game has similar systems but radically different gameplay. Star Citizen has gameplay, it is a fun activity to play with friends and it has a thriving ecosystem (despite your clearly untrue claim otherwise). You don't play it, only know about it in the abstract, and don't seem to understand game development.
Hating Star Citizen feels less like genuine criticism and more like angry people grasping at a meme.
So what gameplay is there for trading/hauling?
Two months ago they released it: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1eo7m5w/the_new_hauling_missions_are_a_ton_of_fun_but/
Why you hate this game is a mystery. It hasn't done anything to you and is working to fulfill the promises it made. But you are acting like a 3 year old child who wants it immediately and fuck the waiting.
"Wow, this half developed feature is so interesting, here's a list of improvements that should be made to make it fun!" are 3/4s of the comments on that thread.
