Although on that point, I don't expect Minia/Zeta to ever release. IMO she thrives on big technical challenges (again...programmer), and one of the reasons she's burning out now is I think she's run out of them in her planned "tech tree". I personally don't think her plans really extended beyond Frames, and now that that's done and out of the way, what comes next?
Now, what she's faced with is the hard work of going through the haphazard mess she's made on one-off "oh wow!" features and actually turning it into a game. For a person like her, I personally think that is hell, whereas it's just my standard day to day as I thrive on design challenges...not technical ones.
Basically, I think she's coming to the realization that she doesn't really want to make an entire game now that she's exhausted the supply of what turns her on in her own mod. Heck, I don't think she even wants to be making a mod anymore.
It's just so... For lack of a better word... Evil that i have a hard time with it. It's like seeing some people happily building a sandcastle and joining in so you can get personal information to steal their identity our something.
Dude...seriously, people behave in very evil ways. That aspect of humanity is not just relegated to history books :)
I'm a self-admitted prick, but I do have what I believe to be an internally consistent system of ethics that I place a great deal of importance on adhering to. However, in terms of public perception, it makes it very easy for me to be portrayed as the bad guy in all this while she constantly winds up smelling like roses.
