I guess some Adamant patches don't count. Combat Wombat put out an update for Invasion! a few weeks back. Doom and gloom is much more fun, however.

Well, one factor is that Aaron sold the series to Strat as I understand it, so he doesn't have the only say in that.

He still planned to release the SE3 source code at least, but he's been dragging his heels for a year now, pending some documentation cleanup.

At this price, you have to wonder how much they're making on SE5?

I'd say that the problems with SE5 has severly hurt the series.

Apparently not as much fun as sniping at people without fully reading what was said, or trying to actually understanding it.

I didn't criticize anyone's efforts, nor did I imply they weren't valued. What I said was "No one else seems to be seriously adding to or developing anything else for it.", indicating that not much else NEW is being done, beyond occasionally updating existing Mods.

Both AT and Urendi Maleldil are, and seemingly have been solely, developing NEW mods for SE4, not updates.

While updates are terrific and always welcome, they do only improve on what's already has been done, and don't actually break any new ground.
