    I was surprised with how many people were watching Star Citizen streams on Twitch. I don’t know if there was some sort of event on or something, but it was near the top of the Twitch leaderboards.

    I was one of the suckers that bought the game in the initial campaign and I haven’t played it yet. It looks like there might actually be enough content now to be worth checking out, but I’m not convinced it’s worth pushing past the jank to play when there are so many amazing, polished games to play instead. I’ll wait until I hear it’s reasonably stable. (Which it clearly isn’t, yet; the streamer I briefly tuned into the other day was saying that he can’t complete a quest line the intended way because of a game-breaking bug that’s been around for months.)

      Tbf, when I played I didn’t feel jank. It was however abrupt and sudden when things went wrong, typically hard disconnects or crashes. Game was empty though, it felt like a roleplay game more then anything, but that was like 2 years ago so who knows.
