There's a difference between doubting that a game will be good and blindly believe a random anonymous guy that class that the developers have done nothing for years, that they prepared a fake trailer and lied about it and that they just scammed Sony and the public for three years.

That's not what he said:
First of all, I was told that the reveal trailer was all cinematic. It was faked to mimic gameplay, assets, etc. from a real game but 0% of the game was implemented. In 2013 probably true. If that trailer presented actual gameplay it should have launched long ago.
So the real challenge for the studio was to put that vision into the final game. And apparently this has been impossible to achieve.
Impossible perhaps not, a lot more work than they imagined, likely.
This words are a direct quote from my source about this news and the studio itself (it contains his personal opinion):
"Sony required about one month ago the DEV KITs to be returned and canceled the fundings into Tequila Works, due of the game had no-sense. Basically there wasn't a game.
I don't think they scammed Sony for three years. Just didn't know what they were getting into.
TLG turned out great despite not showing much gameplay forever. However that never changed publishers or lost support, actually got assigned more teams to help out. Switching publishers is the red flag I'm a bit worried about. That's usually where games that end up in development hell turn out to be disappointing.

I was a big hyperbolic, but that's the impression that, in my opinion, people got from that rumour. Anyway, the rumour states that in 2013 the game didn't exist (something that the studio denied iirc, so if true they would have lied), and that in 2016 "basically there wasn't a game".
We've seen gameplay trailers of games that released many years later so I don't know why this case should be different. Maybe the developers hadn't design yet compelling game mechanics and they needed some years to design those, but it's a bit different than "the trailer is fake"
About the lack of game, I think that it's pretty much clear that when Sony dropped the game there were a game (maybe a bad one, we'll see), since it's releasing this May.
I understand that changing developers is a clear red flag, but what pisses me is the credibility that that rumour gets, still with no proofs. The rumour, again iirc, also talked about problems invited the studio and the company CEO being a notary (I can't see the problem here, but some people seems outraged, again the evidence presented was very weak - there's a notary in Vitoria whose name coincides with the CEO's one. Ok) Edit: I've made a little research and this is true, again I can't see the problem.
I have no interest in the game, and I understand the lost of hype, but this kind of rumour are very bad for the industry.
