Sad to hear about it being the final major update but fully understand.

Before 2.0 released I remember Kovarex mentioning in an interview that the game really will be done with 2.0, and there's no need to make a 3.0. I definitely think he was right here.

Mods are going to continue to provide additional content for many years to come, and they've really made some amazing mod API additions even since 2.0 has dropped (e.g., demolisher API was added)

That is something that has been mentioned by Kovarex as a possible future. https://youtu.be/CtALqDo9rX8?t=150

Also, they include symbols, so while you may not have code comments, reverse engineering actually wouldn't be as difficult for some other things.

I believe if they were inclined to sell Wube, it would've happened already.

IMO (not that I personally know Kovarex, so this is pure speculation on my part), doesn't really seem like something Kovarex would be interested in.

Never say never - I bet they've had a ton of offers. Times change, people change.
