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
