What do you guys think + or - ?

If Fearless were to hop over to S&Box once its available to the public, it would mean that Soul would have to be as involved as he initially was when he first started Fearless. I assume a lot of things would be put up for discussion if things were to be made from scratch. 

This alongside the fact that it's a whole new engine, I highly doubt the current development team has extensive knowledge to create a gamemode from scratch in a new code. You can say they can try and learn, but it's voluntary. 

Best thing Soul could do at that point is invest money into hiring developers to create a base gamemode, but I'm not entirely sure just how much time and money Soul would be willing to put into a "dying project" he initiated almost 10 years ago. I'm sure he still cares dearly about the community regardless of his activity, but all things do come to an end sometime. 

Nonetheless while I think S&Box will take a while and I dont have too much faith in a new gamemode coming on the new engine, it would most likely be the most positive looking future solution.

I believe the plan is more to capture the players that stay with gmod. Not everyone is going to go over to S&Box as it will lack content for a while, involves buying a new game (depends on what they price it at) and it also requires a better PC. So instead of switching to S&Box, I think they'll likely try and capture the players who stick with gmod as there will be less competition in terms of other servers. In the end S&Box won't kill gmod, just reduce it's population.

Me and Broccoli did discuss S&Box while we were devs and did say we're going to mess around in it once it's out, but we're both out of the team now and I have no clue if the remaining team are up for it or not.
