Where's the "How the eff would I know?" option? Lol. Anyway, I'd call that good news, overall. Better than "indefinite hiatus" anyway. ...Unless it's not true.

If I put in the "How the fuck would I know" option, then that wouldn't be any fun...:(
The idea is for one to use their prediction skills, by utilizing whatever variables that are consciously available.

Predicting a high degree of uncertainty is an undervalued ability.

"We understood based on the backer feedback, especially, that we weren't going in the right direction with the game, what we promised to them," Kick said. "That's what really caused the shift in what we're doing now, which is going back to what we'd established and represented with the Unity demo."
Hmm... isn't this exactly what people asked? Why all the gloom and doom, then?

No...The fans and backers didn't ask them to waste almost two years on a misguided and unethical use of their funds, only to leave people twisting in the wind and praying that in another two years they'll have the integrity and resources to complete the project successfully.
...and they definitely didn't ask for a smurfed SHODAN!...:mad:
Yet, you can vote how you wish.

An "undervalued ability" of being a party-pooper...:(
The degree of perceived uncertainty is relative to the awareness of existing variables and probabilities.

How do you know the two years were an unethical use of the funds? How do you know what portion of funds was used for what? You are simply assuming bad intent.
A lot of projects go off the rails or beyond their scope. That's very common in game development. And Night Dive is paying for that, not the backers.

I always cringe when someone proposes to remake something I love (movies, games...) but then they try to make it 'better'. Because making it 'better' usually means making something completely different from the original. All I wanted, and backed up, was the old game remade in a modern engine. That's all. Not new levels/maps, new enemies, new logs (meaning new stories). If that was all they were doing, it would be done by now. So at this point I'm very sceptic that I'll get what I was hoping for.

I have (
https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=6977.msg118565#msg118565) good news for you then.
it also might be noteworthy that NDS are aware of the project, and allowed it to exist as long as the "System Shock" name is not used anywhere (which is pretty much two places, the main screen and the outtro), so lets maybe hold off with all the flak for the time being?

Also, there was talk of the source code coming soon? Like, real soon?
