    True, maybe I'm way off and uber will release a huge new content patch next week, can't say anything for sure.

    Just my gut feeling is otherwise (note I could see additional work on the wider game system, the outages on the ladder make me wonder if that's being worked on).

    Google Mike Robbins Twitter, and mkrater Twitter and you'll find the tweets...

    Edit I'd link but on phone and also not sure we should link those here?

    Sad to see this happen. Good luck @Sorian and @mkrater.

    Relax everyone. Every prior annihilation game got abandoned within a couple of years and the communities persisted. Even TA, 18 years old now, still has an active community, especially for the largest mod Escalation. Uber has no reason to kill the servers even if they stop development, and even if they did, we could still use tungle or hamachi. PAT will persist.

    This is pretty much what I was thinking. If development really is ready to enter a new maintenance phase, that would be good news for people looking to make bigger mods. Up until now the constant game patches have made it pretty hard to justify putting in the effort needed to fully balance a mod.

    I wish the best of luck to Sorian and Mkrater. As for PA, I'm hyped for the possible/theoretical modding development phase.

    Well the AI is already good...

    And now there's not going to be as much work done on it...

    So how does that mean it will suck? That's like saying a really good finished movie will suck in theaters since the original director left.

    m8 pls xd

    @mkrater and @Sorian should try get jobs at Cloud Imperium. Then we can see them in community vids every week :D.

    This makes it sound like you're sending support some really odd questions :p.

    I would like too see some kind of statement from Uber, what does this mean for the development of the games.
