Finally, on 27th July, Blow noted the "whole industry is having a hard time" and then, when asked how many of his development team are working on the compiler for programming language Jai, Blow replied: "None, because we can't afford to pay anyone because the sales are bad."

Oof. I don't like Jon Blow, but I do like Braid. Sad to see nobody really cares about it anymore.

Or the people who care about it already have it. It doesn't have archaic controls or graphics or whatnot, so the need to buy a new version is way lower than the likes of a Resident Evil remake.

Yep! I would be much more interested in a Braid 2 rather than a remake of a game I already own and enjoy. I actually didn't realize until writing this comment that Braid Anniversary Edition even had more puzzles than the original.

He should have called it "Braid+" or "Braid 1.5" or something. "Anniversary Edition" makes it sound like I'm just going to pay to replay the same puzzles I already figured out a decade ago but with minor cosmetic changes. Forty new levels is fairly substantial.
