Bruh game is not dead. Guy is just waiting until patrons who are not at fault of anything, obviously, stop sending him money for doing absolutely 0 progress. Last news I got was that he was "training others to help him with the game" which seems to be absolute garbage, also his passion about making the game better seems like bullshit.
Not the first time this happens, it will revive and he will disappear again at some point. Best thing we get out of this? We will have more of this game to play, but you already know when.
