I don't know about that. I'm just saying, 70 replies in and this thread hasn't even been looked at sideways. I strongly suspect that's because we're all awesome and have kept it civil. Perhaps the thread/post you saw was inflammatory and was removed for that reason.

You're not meant to say that, it wakes the trolls (and argumentative people) from their slumber!

Regardless of what happens (im not going to be pessimistic as i just dont have any hard evidence to point that way), at least i have KSP 1.2 on my HDD and i be (in the extremely unlikely event that KSP does fall apart), modders will keep developing the game.  This is exactly what happened with an old flight sim i still play on occasion, technically the game has been completely discontinued but some enthusiasts still improve it through unofficial patches...

 

That said, ive gotten way more then my money's worth out of the game and im still very happy with its state, so at the least ill be able to keep 1.2 beta around (once its on my HDD it stays on it and gets placed on my 5 backup drives i keep in basement)...

I wouldn't worry about 1.2 not getting a release.  But I'm not counting on much of anything beyond that.

Yeah, kind of weird to leave all of a sudden when part overhauls and modding expansions seemed to be big parts of 1.2/1.3.

I think they will continue their (awesome) work as modders still. Leaving Squad != leaving KSP.

I don't mean to sound rude, but name one former dev who is still active on the forums or maintaining mods.

Wow, this looks like the entire dev team, except maybe 1 or 2, are leaving! Could 1.2 be the last version to be released? I don’t want it that way, there are sooooo many planned updates I look forward to, that will now never happen! ;.;;.;

I'm not talking about the "historic" KSP devs, but the old-time modders that were hired by Squad recently, for 1.1 or 1.2 (NecroBones, NathanKell, TriggerAu, Sarbian, Klaw...). They all have been involved in the modding community for a long time, and I doubt they will just vanish leaving their mods abandoned.

Edit: NecroBones is not cited in the leaving staff, so considering his awesome work on texturing in his mods, the retexturing is not dead yet.

Okay, then. Small change in this case. I give it another year, and this game is dead, forum and all.

If that happens a massive unofficial forum will spring up in its place, complete with Wiki and mod portal. We already have the mod portal part.
