you don´t get it... T2 (unless they can get rid of the IP) will NEVER CONFIRM that the game is "canceled".... why? it opens the gate to legal action... So the game will stay in forever limbo with a minimal skeleton crew (part time devs) pushing some minor fixes and keeping minimal comms until no one cares anymore.... or they sell the IP

If there is some backlash today.... the backlash of them releasing a "1.0" for merely legal reasons would be a call to arms for the community

The community is not going for the game as is..... and no studio will risk their neck in taking a project that´s been 5 years in dev hell, with a super divided community, and worse a niche game 50% rated in steam that will not sell much more than it already has (the original KSP1 community)

This boils down to, like TLTay said, they can make more sales in the future to justify a 70 ppl team, and the reality is that the game is in the #900+ place of most played games on steam just below other classics such as football manager 2017.... it´s a disaster train wreck tornado godzilla the saving grace would be colonies? well you need a non buggy, high performance game (increased parts) to do colonies, and you do not have that today.... and if you couldn´t make a stable game with 70 ppl you willl certainly have trouble doing it with 3-4 ppl as i fear they´ll keep from june forward..... just to push minor patches and do maintenance

They have been silent for longer periods than 1 week so...... yeah it´s not out of character for IG to ignore the community for ages

Factorio will throw you in a deep rabbit hole of optimization (if thats your cup of tea then go for it), DSP is a bit more "Casual" if you can call it that way but just a tad

This also happened to me, all audio except for (and very unfortunately) PAIGE, that wasnt muted
