(and don't forget that it's very unlikely that you can run all central servers without paying any credits!)
I saw this exact scenario in a tournament round and this card would have prevented the runner from losing the next turn.
I think this card (and other "forfeit agenda" -cards) are going to be valuable since there are so many -1 agenda trapcards out there. Or at least in my gaming circle, News Teams and Shi.ky? are almost in every deck with Global Food Initiative. Last game I had two News Teams, but then I just sold them and was swimming in money.
That's certainly the best use. But even without a Shi.Kyu/News Team meta, this card is pretty good with Fan Sites. If we include the clicks used to install Data Dealer and Fan Sites (x3), and the clicks to use Data Dealer, we have an effective ratio of 3,8 credits per click, which is fantastic.
It deserves more than 2 stars.
I took part in a "jank" tournament at the weekend; I threw one of these into my Geist deck - and it was genuinely good. I cashed in 2 Shi-Kyu's for $18 (and +2 agenda points). Towards the ned of the game (when I was out of B&E breakers and was 99% sure I couldn't win) I was just running on the off chance I'd hit an agenda; Archives gave me 3 Shi kyus (we didnt realise they were Forfeited from the game) and the corp wouldn't pay any money as he knew I wanted them and I'd just trade them in. Against a deck running -1 agenda cards (or things like Fan Site) this card is REALLY good. Equally, against decks that don't use them, its worthless.
