Star Citizen Bans 600 Accounts for Exploiting Item Duplication Glitch
The long-awaited space MMO faces challenges as cheaters disrupt the in-game economy and stability.
- Cloud Imperium Games suspended over 600 accounts involved in exploiting an item duplication glitch.
- The exploit allowed players to duplicate ships and cargo, generating massive amounts of in-game currency.
- The influx of illicit currency led to significant inflation and server performance issues.
- Developer CIG has removed the illicitly gained currency and is implementing measures to prevent future exploits.
- Despite raising $700 million in crowdfunding, Star Citizen remains in an extended alpha phase with no release date in sight.
