Lucrative but very boring for us players.
Funnily enough I argree with you as well.
The problem remains that the community me inclueded wants a updated SE. Ase has done a lot of work infairness to him in making YouTube videos that express this. He put a large doccument together which was a final plea to the devs to comeback.
My opinion is that the devs won't comeback to SE and as a fan but a realistic fan I want this series to continue. Legacy I think is the best form of the game in terms of getting NUMBERS of fans in.
I don't know why the devs haven't updated the game. Which is problem number 2 communication. They are not required to do anything for us. However I would like in a ideal world a forum post explaining honestly and realistically what their plans are also explaining why they have left SE like it for over 2 years now.
I am speculating that as they are small developers also considering that it would be difficult to get more SE members to pay for membership. That financial could play apart. If that is true then I understand them not saying anything.
