"You will use real technology.

"You will use real technology. You will build real systems. You will face the real problems faced by the world’s best programmers building the world’s most important pieces of software. You will conquer those problems. You will prove yourself equal to the very best. Becoming a top Starfighter player is a direct path to receiving lucrative job offers from the best tech companies in the world, because you’ll have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can do the work these companies need done." What an absolute waste of time. You can do all of those things as hobby projects which are yours and actually do something useful in the world besides exist as an achievement to be unlocked. Show your future employer your github, not your starfighter score.
