ofc their are better things in future...lol better never buy a new computer or gpu because a better one WILL be out next year
Hmmm I'll take a wager against this stake, reasonable guess but just doesn't feel like his style....then again this dev is the guy that got very resistant to changing his own overuse of hard pauses, so perhaps control-freak isnt unearned.
I'm sticking with my original wager - sometime several months ago, mid summer or earlier, he got bored and disenchanted with the production process. I bet this update (the actual gameplay one, not the re-imaged) gets pushed back to around christmas if not later, releases to some fanfare - yet ends up being his swan song followed by many months of inactivity.
