Star Citizen Wasted 5 Years Chasing an Accident

Star Citizen's most legendary moment was a complete accident, and CIG spent the next five years chasing it. The original Jumptown war of 2019 convinced them that if you build enough systems, players will create the endgame for you. That belief shaped everything, the mission design, the years of tier 0 systems, the PvP policy, right up until CitizenCon 2024 reversed course. This is the story of how one pricing bug on a drug lab in the middle of nowhere sent Star Citizen down the wrong development path, and what the 1.0 plan tells us about whether CIG finally learned the right lesson.
