And they're still selling it on Steam. A game that they have no intention of finishing.
This game had potential. Already, a good engine upgrade with good potential performance, it just needed a lot more time in the oven and it would have well exceeded the original game.
It was a good game while it lasted. Best of luck Intercept.
- Honestly, KSP2 was never really good. Certainly not as good as the first one.
  
  The thing is that it has hints of brilliance underneath all the bad. The mission structure was far better than the original, and obviously the artistic direction was better. If the bugs could get fixed and the features mostly matched up to KSP1, I’d say it was superior.
Is this the team they moved it to, or the team they moved it from?
- I had the same question but I can’t find the goddamn answer anywhere. Journalism these days is a fucking pathetic joke.
  The (piece of shit) article only says
  “The team at Intercept Games will be laid off as of June 28th so a great group will be out and about looking for their new roles. As will I,” he said.
  The future of Intercept Games has been uncertain for some time amid ongoing restructuring at owner Take-Two Interactive.
  I looked up the history:
  Kerbal Space Program 2 was announced back in 2019with Star Theory Games (formerly Uber Entertainment) at the helm, taking over the franchise from the original developer Squad under Take-Two’s ownership of the IP. Some tumult occurred in 2020 when Take-Two reconsidered a move to acquire Star Theory, instead setting up Intercept Games and hiring a bunch of the team from Star Theory to this new studio. Delays followed, with the game pushed back first to 2022, then 2023, and then eventually resulting in an early access release in February 2023.
  So I don’t goddamn know.
