Good morning, the community does not give up on I:R yet, these are the most voted suggestions from last week:

Irrational AI

Family Focus

Here's mine, give the game away free with a purchase of another title or DLC. That way the game as is, reaches a larger audience, and potentially opens the door for further dev, and from PDX POV later DLC sales.

PDX will lose nothing because no-one is going to buy the game now they have in-all-but-name killed it. Now, my opinion is that IR is best left alone to the modding community, where continuity of base line code is key, and where we can be certain work IS going to continue long-term.

However if you are clinging to the dream that somehow the halycon days of Arheo et al are going to be resurrected then making the game basically FTP would be a great way to start, at this point PDX have nothing to lose.
