While i agree there are definitely some titles i wished got continued either with or without the original dev only problem i could see arise is the fact it wouldn't be the same game if someone else picked it up since only the original dev would really know how the story would go originally not to meantion there might be a legal thing since it would not be their creationYeah, I often wish that somebody would be able to pick up abandoned games and bring them to completion. There are so many stellar ones that are abandoned

That's right. Whoever takes over the game will be a different game, a different style, a different atmosphere. Even the plot will inevitably change - another person will tell the same story in a different way. It's more likely to be a remake than a sequel. And from another developer's point of view, there will always be a sense of secondary importance, of the project not being theirs and the laurels not theirs. At least in part. Why take on someone else's project when you can do your own? So, sadly, abandoned projects in most cases face oblivion. Or reincarnation in the form of remakes.
I'm not talking about mindless fuckfests, those can be just as easily continued if you have assets.

I sometimes wonder if Apa visits his thread.
And if so, what his thoughts are on it still being so active as it is.
Apa, if you're reading this: You made something special, all respects

It's just a pity he doesn't clarify the situation (maybe he doesn't know himself?), but it's good that he's alive.
