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.
