Beats the hell out of me, I'm going to just assume no based on the article. I'm just more amused that this vapor ware is still being supported by people in this quixotic venture.

I mean I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale on Steam or GoG.

I remember when Elite Dangerous came out as a beta, the subreddit was flooded with Star Citizen backers trying to discourage people from enjoying Elite Dangerous as it was an "inferior game". (I'll never understand this divisive sort of attitude, as if games were mutually exclusive and you couldn't enjoy two games in the same genre).

Many years later and Star Citizen is very much an unfinished product and resembles more a loose collection of minigames than an actual game, whereas people have actually enjoyed years of playing a finished Elite. Oh well.
