I'll believe they're doing something when their planet page where they try and get players signed up has news that's more recent than 2014. Low hanging fruit that shows they are doing something, could generate some buzz, and maybe bring fresh players into the game. Thought this should have been something during the pandemic - sure someone's niece or nephew could have used the $$$.
A bit disappointed there was no update notes of any kind or communication to at least acknowledge why....
I sure hope that random youtube channels aren't our only outlet to the devs here anymore. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to write a simple update if the customer was actually valued, even if its to say we are thinking of you doing things but no update this time. One way to lose all respect fast is to stop reciprocating it.
