An overview of KSP, KSP2, and some of the events that led to a mass exodus of fans and content creators from the latter. Featuring a time-lapse capture of the construction of a vessel of grape proportions and its launch out of the Kerbol system.
There are a lot of details I glossed over in this video and many other content creators have covered those topics with far better understanding than I have. If you're interested in learning more about this story and some of the technical reasons for the game's demise there are many great videos including those shown at the start of the video.
Gameplay footage and audio from Kerbal Space Program 2: Early Access, Audio from Kerbal Space Program, and marketing materials from each game.

Agreed, the sale is such a slap in the face. Had the exact same issue for my Dres station, struts magically disappeared. Kerbals are the minions of space. They could do so much financially...

Today Intercept Games closes its doors. Their Discord server and accounts are being handed over to their publisher, Private Division. Still no comment from parent company Take 2. ( Ironically, KSP2 went on sale again today.)

No one will continue develop a game that has sold a lot of it's potential copies. If Take 2 manages to sell the IP the best we could get is that someone will develop KSP3

@@kromeboy Thank you very much! Unfortunately T2 is not alone with shutting down anything between cheap indie and AAA which is driving the current video game crash. The industry got so corporate that investors only want to see maximum returns. KSP2's ~200,000 sales already didn't stand a chance against GTA6's potential ~200,000,000. And as you stated, since they sold most of the potential copies already to suckers like us, there's no financial reason for them to continue right now.

KSP 2 could have been such an easy win if they didnt insist on reusing KSP 1 like absolute S tier morons

It's really hard to say, to develop everything they promised would have been a monumental amount of work. The original KSP went through many many years of growing pains to get where it is. To try and not only remake a game with such unique mechanics but to also add so much more in scope made it a near impossible task for a team unfamiliar with the original game. A true successor will one day come from someone's heart, not by a team of people hired to push out a product of a popular IP.
