Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in funding

The live stream for Star Citizen, intending to showcase the delayed Siege of Orison event, was a complete disaster. The gameplay appeared sluggish, and desynchronization issues plagued the event, even though it was being streamed from an internal build on a private server. At one point, a developer urged viewers to close their eyes, while their hand went through a lever.

A recently hired content manager, Oliver Hull, attempted to engage the community, but was immediately shot down by another developer who pointed out that the timing system was faulty. This only added to the tense atmosphere, as the developers themselves couldn't complete the event successfully. The situation reached a boiling point when Jared Huckaby, the content director, essentially told Hull, who had only joined the team a few months prior, "It's your show, wrap it up."

The stream was a stark reminder of the game's ongoing issues, with the community reacting negatively on social media, with one player mocking the company's promises while its basic functions remained broken.
