Star Citizen dev pushes back controversial flight blades after player backlash

After immense player backlash, Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games is pushing back its controversial new item that helps you enhance your ships. Flight blades are an upcoming upgrade you can buy for either real-world money or in-game currency, but Cloud Imperium briefly made them available ahead of time, and only purchasable with actual cash. The new flight blades are still on the way, but after vocal player distaste, the studio now says all “future gameplay kit introductions” will be obtainable in-game on day one.
