We have no idea if he's still working on SF:NG, but he's come up with ideas for at least three different large projects in the last six months, so he's clearly not fully dedicated to this one.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Honestly, if there ever is a final product I'd be surprised if DJ's name is still on it.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Justin now doesn't have a product he can sell, and doesn't have any writers that can finish it. We only have evidence of SF:NG having only two writers, (1) DaveJ, which is an extremist loon, and (2) LoganH, which fled the scene. Justin doesn't write; he's an idea man, so he certainly can't create a product of this scale himself, which is why we have yet to see an actual product months after the presumed release date.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">With DaveJ no longer working on SF:NG, Justin tries to edit it as best he can, taking out DJ's obvious n-word section, but is oblivious to why the "Nordic" section is so bad. So he leaves that in... for now.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Justin is probably having a really hard time finding anyone willing to work on this project at all.</li> </ul></blockquote><p></p>
