Oli said "No one promised he'll maintain this game forever", but on other hand no one said "We'll shut down game after one year" too. He's accused by some players of scam, but he replied "It would be better scam if I worked at Macdonalds for year".

But McDonald's would not shut down, if he would quit after 1 year of work. NextColony probably will.

Will someone from steem take this game and let it live after 10th May ?

I hope. I started my first exploring mission today (on 2020.04.12), but the return date of the explorer ship is "05/16/2020, 12:43:36", so the explorer ship will not return before the end of the season.
