Did Starpoint Gemini 3 kill LGM Games?

As far as I can tell, the studio has been radio silent ever since the last patch for this game was released. Does anyone know if they're still working on anything in the background, or is LGM gone for good?

EDIT:

I just saw a post from one of the developers from August 2023 on the Steam Deck Support thread; according to them LGM is still working on stuff, which is exciting to hear.

Of the developers who once posted regularly around here, that August 2023 post appears to be the last anyone's heard from them on steam (the others haven't been seen since roughly 2019 during the early-access period).

In the last few years, apparently some of the LGM staff were involved with games like Patron and Aquatico in some capacity in a bid to help get things back off the ground. I haven't seen much chatter about either of those games though and neither seem to have sold exceptionally well (despite getting decent reviews) so it's hard to know how far that took them.

Anyway, if they still want to, I hope they eventually bounce back well enough to take another stab at the Warlords formula but in the meantime, as far as this game is concerned, I'd be very surprised if it got any further attention.

I loved Warlords, and I think I can speak for most of the SPG fanbase when I say that a Warlords 2 would definitely sell. I hope LGM is able to make an eventual return to the genre.

What killed them were the bad decisions in this game, which had everything to open a new gaming style niche for this company, it ended with many long-time fans of the games they created and new players who spent money on this game and received this shell full of flaws that will never be fixed.
