I actually wasn't even viewing it as potential "burn", as sometimes the simple reality is people start games that ultimately just don't end up gaining enough support traction to warrant their own time investment that has to go into it. Or basically...shit happens
I actually enjoyed the game (and the pre-reboot), so my first thought at seeing this pop up was that maybe somebody was looking to continue it with custom content. Glad to hear he's still actually interested in continuing himself though.
