but what should they offer?
sure, there is a ton of things which is missing in si for example, but who should develop it now? 6 coding people are working on si, what should they develope that we all say, yes, this is great?
and more important, who should give them the input? i for myself have a long list of features i would like to see, pretty sure every user have it, but its not possible to create all that with only 6 people. and i am not talking about major features like new hair system which alone would surely take along time to develope for 2 or 3 people. not to mention all the bugs and small annoying things, a core rewrite which would be most important and also keep the software itself running. if you have only a small userbase, you cant do this, you can only keep the software alive. more is not impossible because the income is to low.
would be interesting how many users tryed to contribute to the development of si before they gone. i dont mean the beta program, more a general thing like writing mails to ad with feature ideas, things like this. but i think its not that much, users are good in to complain and left the building without to say what should be better.
