I'd really hate to see this engine die, yet some certainty would be nice though.
I still think this engine is quite capable and can sell a bunch, maybe as A9 with optional Android support but a reduced price of the professional version (like 500$), with the new WED and a few other nice features, a new homepage based on the new WED and a new logo (EDIT:
This one is not bad but
this one kills me).
