I don't get why people call it a scam. It is open source code and some developers have decided to try and take the coin in a different direction. How is that different from Bitcoin Cash ? In that scenario it wasn't the main developers forking a new coin but again some developers wanting to take it in another direction.

That being said I like Litecoin because it uses a different algorithm and is lightning fast, so prefer the original, but free crypto is free crypto !
