I can't tell you the exact dates as their website locks up my phone. A sign of things to come no doubt.

If anything interesting happens then I'll post, but I fear it'll just be boring broken poo poo

It will, I tried it out in 2019, and again in 2021, and I knew going in that the 2021 episode was just going to be a mistake.

The uninstaller still doesn't work properly, so install everything to a custom folder (so you know where it is) and then after the "uninstall" delete the whole folder yourself.

Actually it's probably a smart move, Citizens seem to love buying ship manufacturer swag. A chair is probably pretty straightforward to change the stitching on.

Honestly, don't bother even putting yourself through it - I don't want to sound like a killjoy but there's nothing fun or amusing about the game once you're actually in it. It's just bland and yet somehow irritating at the same time, like out-of-date eyewash or something.

Well the left screen is definitely some media player with a track list and 00’s UI. The mixer at the top is weird though. Maybe they homebrewed a 5.1 levels UI element in Foobar 2000.

Honestly that’s probably something I would have done, given a surplus of monitors and the space for it all

Have you accepted The Void as your lord and savior?
I'm guessing half of that is for streaming crap. Two cameras because what kind of a ghetto streamer can't dramatically switch angles. Right display looks like he's monitoring his stream, which also might account for the metrics. Left is a software mixer and tunes because that seems to be what everyone does now. Far left is what looks like some sort of horizontally-mounted equalizer or something? Gotta have two stream decks as well, because you need access to more sound effects than a bad radio dj. I don't know wtf is on the bottom monitors but the right one appears to be handling the flux capacitor and possibly argon levels. There's also a folded-back normal throttle in addition to twin sticks and also a very inconveniently mounted box that appears to contain a random assortment of flight sim controls.

The center monitor is still the most useless, as it does not contain a game.

Mouse and keyboard in any way within the game of the Star Citizen is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching a wireless mouse will be subjected to a youtubectomy, or if the offender was a console gamer, they would then have razors inserted under their fingernails. They would sometimes pump Baja Blast into the stomach until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their rig in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

The one that had the super-powered ability to see in complete darkness without the use of a ring light? It went as far as the company that was supposed to make it having a fairly hidden page about it on their website and then it never went past that.
It's been so memory-holed that I'm having difficulty even finding articles about it. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be Faceware but like I've ended up just having this tiny image

I remember how laughable that dark room comparison was. Absurd levels of bullshit.

Anyway, the basic answer is no. Same as literally every single other one of their hardware partnerships.
