There is not need to be rude. Jon's notion is probably 'finished' ==
'not developed anymore' or even 'finished' == 'dead'. So X-COM is
finished according to this, but the other projects are not. Bateau is
also right as he uses a different characteristic: is the game is
playable or not. UFO2000 is definitely playable for example. And if we
stop working on it, it will become 'finished' too :)
