He was the primary author on the original book, but had nothing to do with the supplement AFAIK (which was by Tynes, Heinsoo and Law). If Sechi does hold the rights, the question just becomes why isn't he doing something with it, even if it's just lobbying for Atlas to post the pdfs? Or is he, and I've just missed it all these years?
It really isn't, at least IMO. The amount of work you'd have to put in to break apart all the bundling at different stages is so extensive you might as well deconstruct the whole system and reassemble it from scratch - or just hack Cortex Prime. A second edition where there was - well, maybe not a true point buy option, but a big set of more open menus to choose from would be nice, but at this point I'll be surprised if the KS even finishes fulfillment, making a new or revised edition pretty unlikely.

Dang, that's a shame. I can recall playing so many games of Pandemonium with friends. Hmm, do I still have my old copy...From Wikipedia
“In the summer of 1996, Atlas Games publicly admitted that Pandemonium had "not found a solid market niche", and reduced its overstock by giving away copies of both products (Varney 1996).”
It sounds like it massively undersold. (A tragedy for certain.)Pandemonium (role-playing game) - Wikipedia

I agree, Paranoia is great and gets very little love these days.
That's just silly pattering. When I play there's way more to it. The group I'm running doesn't just spout of quotes that are akin to the feel of the game. We put in a lot of effort to avoid cliche.
The people I know who have played it say it's a lot of fun. The problem is that not many people have played it. I have a game set up for Saturday afternoons and so far it's gone well. I'm stoked for the 8th to play some more.
