I just hope whatever does eventually come of these future lain-developments still retains the original multimedia spirit those first few projects held very closely. Another partial by-product of the time it was conceived within but still, gave it a certain edge and amount of soul that's allowed it to be cared for by many people even today.

It'd be lighting striking twice obviously given everything it'd have going against it like you've implied but still.
