MTW has enough quality and replayability to be a classic game, in the same sense that certain board games are classic, and so for players to never really leave it.
By implementing minor code fixes and improvements to known problems in SP (as in MP there are no major issues afaik) and compatibility fixes for new systems, the MTW scene could even flourish instead of dwindle, mp and sp wise.
Unfortunately, it appears that the developer has never had any further interest in the game after releasing v2.01, unlike other companies like say Paradox that kept up improving and supporting games like "Crusader Kings" that became better and better over the years. As it is, MTW interest is condemned to a slow but guaranteed and painful fade out.
Sad really.
