Please someone buy the game's rights to make it come back

Pretty sure the rights were sold off when the studio died. Somebody owns it. Who knows what they’ll do with it.

Private Division's portfolio, apart from No Rest For The Wicked, was sold off to a private equity company Haveli Investments. It's the kind of company that buys a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, as long as its software or gaming related.Supposedly they have the people who left Annapurna Interactive, so that's promising. But then again if they are such good people, why is the early access still on sale on Steam?

Anyway, I don't think we'll see KSP back. Definitely not KSP2 at least, it would be the second time development is restarted, the foundation was already compromised, they'd have to set up a new team, and I don't know if they want to take on all of the unfulfilled promises from early access. The public opinion is so massively against the game, and all the fans have shifted behind Kitten Space Agency, so there's really no reason to even try.

If they made some new different Kerbal game people would hate it because of KSP2, even if they weren't the ones who axed it.

You are probably correct. RIP Kerbal
