No, it really doesn't
It just means that VCs won't touch it. It CAN be made into a better game, absolutely, and it can be made profitable. But a sane VC will not take the chance.

Well, let's say someone had "spare time" that was already paid for, where other projects "soaked up" the costs of manpower and had access to design and graphics on the side, the Project of a PA reboot could be MUCH lower.
Why on earth (or in space) did you think I was trying to get it back ? Did you think I was completely blinded by sentimentality?
