I keep thinking about that myself, how so many news outlets are reporting that Uranium is dead... I can't help but wonder if that's because most of the actual news about the game is coming across social media from "fans" instead of the original "official" (in the eyes of the media) developers. Perhaps they have heard mentions of new devs, but maybe aren't taking them seriously since they're not from "official" sources?
Whatever the case, I can't help but wonder if that is a blessing or a curse. On the one hand, reports that the game is very much alive would help boost the fanbase, many of whom may not realize that development is still ongoing unless they're on Facebook or Reddit or Discord... but at the same time, with great exposure might come the risk that the new devs would wind up on Nintendo and Game Freak's radar. Uranium never got an official "cease and desist" or DMCA takedown notice. If it were widely known that the game was still active, could that potentially change?
