The show is live! I think? Oh they're starting up Privateer and playing the intro for the game first.

I hadn't seen the Privateer intro before which was pretty neat. Jared and Ben will be hosting Happy Hour today with Ben taking us through Wing Commander: Privateer! A game that has had quite an influence on Star Citizen.

Ben compared how Star Wars focused on Luke Skywalker character and his journey to how Privateer focused on the Han Solo character type.

Privateer used technology from Strike Commander, a "Star Citizen" of its time and was the result of branching off from that game and making a vast world to explore. Privateer takes place after Wing Commander 2 in terms of setting. Wing Commander 3 came after Privateer, but also took place at the same time as the events in Privateer.
