For a pile of broken junk? No.
It may well be a fact that CIG said it.
I think two hours of that was waiting for the train
After 5 years of development, a game is better. That’s not that startling really considering the vast resources poured into Star Citizen. However, the game remains in self-identified alpha.
I’ve heard there’s going to be a Samuel Beckett season at the National Theatre, starting with an update to a classic, ‘Waiting for Squadron 42’

I can say the same thing about a plot of dirt. It's very subjective, but me and most of my cousins loved playing with mud when we were kids. It didn't cost us a dime.
I remember supporters regularly saying stuff like 'you can't trust what CIG says unless it came from Chris Roberts' and things like 'you can't take every thing Chris Roberts says literally'.
Wasn't it CIG who said someting like 100 players in the same server? Or was it 50? 100 star systems?
They also said more funding means the game gets finished faster and despite the growing list of features it wouldn't be delayed at all. The point is CIG said a lot fo things, most of it not true.
:edit: Doesn't mean the 3 hour average play time isn't true, its just...I don't know relies on interpretation/context? Like others have suggested, it could be hours stuck in the menu trying to get it to work or waiting for the train. It could be actiual gameplay or sitting around in the ship waiting for it to get to its destination.
Kind of like saying the average office worker spend more time in the office compared to the quarantine period. It doesn't mean they're doing more work, they could be talking about Game of Thrones by the coffee machine, or simply the company stopped letting workers work from home.
Unrelated to above.
Is Star Citizen a game now or is it still an Alpha Test?
As far as I know the common usage of Alpha isn't a game, but a test. Chris Roberts said in one interview the game is in version 3 so it implies its no longer in a test state so not an Alpha?

They say anything that fits the current narration. Whether it is the opposite of yestersay doesn't matter for stuff you pull out of your rear.
For example, I might've played about 2-3 hours a day during the last free fly. I had to go full "Buckyball Mode" to do this, but it's a fairly solid fact. But what isn't revealed is that I only played for one week, out of a full year.
As the old saying goes: "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." Given that CIG is has repeatedly been caught lying to Backers, and some pretty damning ones too, why would their use of statistics be any different?
I've spent 100% of the hours I dedicated to video games for video games in my last two weaks.

CIG saying their game is good? Shocking.
Rude! Tyler Whathisname has already played all the missions in blue-, white-, brown- and XBox.
Oh Ant's gonna love this. The servers are currently set to 100+. (Although in the latest patch they seem to take a horrible turn whenever they go beyond 50...)

They are aiming for 1000s though of course
It is Alpha as a Service...
Forever and ever. Amen.
Or as Chris would have it, it is: "An online live game..."
CIG produce a lot of numbers. None of them ever seem to match reality, but, carry on.
Wow! Server meshing, the milestone CIG had been talking about for [insert integer] years.
Chris Roberts "100s or 1000s players"
I stopped myself from saying 1000 because I thought it sounded stupid.
