We made a statement about that on our Discord.

Since that's vague, I'll just go ahead and guess that they mean this from 2023-11-24:

A short summary according to Google Gemini (original text is 4-5x this long):

Atomic Jelly, the team behind Space Mechanic Simulator, is facing a tough situation despite their hard work revitalizing the game over the past year. Initial negative player ratings on Steam have severely impacted the game's visibility and sales, creating a vicious cycle that makes continued updates financially unsustainable. They are appealing to players to reconsider their ratings if their concerns have been addressed and to spread positive word-of-mouth to improve the game's future prospects and the possibility of a sequel. Ultimately, they express sadness but may have to halt development to focus on future projects if ratings and sales don't improve.

Side note: I made a positive review before I saw that message, and I also have a video series up that was pretty well received (~5000 views, ~130 likes). So I guess more visibility would help the game, since it seems to be appreciated once people are exposed to it.
