Chachi reviews some new information that we have learned from Quantum Vegas.
Highlights from the video:

Sean Tracy has mentioned that they are planning to start testing VR within 1-2 months.
VR is already natively supported in Star Engine, but some things have been broken with the changes they have made to the engine.
CIG licensing out Star Engine is unlikely because of the maintenance needed to support other teams/companies/developers.

If we get a VR mode before an official Linux build I'm going fly to Manchester and spread mayo all over their keyboards. Every single one of them.

We've been told multiple times that they already have working builds internally and the only reason they haven't release them was supposedly wait for a complete Vulkan implementation. Could they finish one thing for once before moving on to gimmicks for small percentage of the playerbase?

It's cool that they didn't drop this feature but is VR really more important than a whole secondary platform?

I hope someone steps on a lego brick if that's the case.

I'm afraid we, in general, are not told the truth but whatever can pass as truth

Obviously, that's my natural response to whatever comes out from CIG. In this case however we did get multiple confirmations from one of the devs who never gave us a reason to doubt him. I don't remember his name nor have links on hand so I'm not even gonna try to convince anyone, it's just why I think it does in fact exist.

Still, if/when it actually comes out is anyone's guess.
