Not saying it needs to be passed off, (that is, if Badspot does continue development despite all of the impatient wads, despite the fact we aren't "guaranteed" an update) but if it were to be passed off, I have faith the modders who would recieve it.
On a similar note, if Badspot were to go the route of releasing the source code, while this would help immensely, this wouldn't give any sense of officiality to the game when all you can do to enhance your experience is download mods.
Not that a sense of officiality really matters.
It's his game, I really dont care what he does with it. Just discussing his options for this kind of thing.
