I was sort of hoping that we would have a playable version of FE 2.0 by 3rd or 4th quarter 2021, but that seems highly unlikely at this point. I suppose the spirit of the OP was that the farther into the future a release date becomes the less likely it is to materialize at all. Right now there doesn't appear to be anything comparable to our beloved Fallen Earth on the market. Should that change, however, many people will probably give up waiting and move on. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
