Back in 2014, I bought an AMD R9 290. It came with a code usable on AMD's site to redeem keys for 3 games of my choice from a list of dozens. Many of the games were either not interesting to me or I'd already gotten during a Steam sale, but I found 2 that I wanted. As for the third, I saw that they had Star Citizen available, and as nothing else grabbed my interest, I figured I'd select that as my final choice. I downloaded whatever beta they had available at the time and it refused to launch. I never could figure out what was wrong with it. The card played everything else I had like a champ. I actually recently put it into an old PC I had laying around for a friend's son who wants to play some simple indie PC games, which the card is more than capable of doing. But Star Citizen? Yeah, that's still not out. However, watching this slow moving flaming train wreck is probably far more entertaining than whatever gameplay I might have gotten from that beta had it actually ran. This is by far the best free game I've ever gotten from that metric alone!
