^What C4rma said. I'm still somewhat active in their community even though I don't play, and they have monthly tourneys that are literally filled with people participating. Say what you want, but AC doesn't have that (again, it's a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless).
Also, I think sauer is just as much of an "engine demo" as AC, or even Tesseract is. I doubt that when Aardappel and eihrul created the cube engine, they ever intended for two games that are still around in 2015 to come from it.
It's fine if eihrul isn't trying to make a popular game "for you", but that's a very different statement from your original one. As I recall, you once told me you hated all sauer/quake type games because they had unrealistic environments with teleporters and so on. again, there's nothing wrong with that - but there's a step from thinking that yourself to assuming others feel the same.
