The price had just touched a monthly low, and the argument over burning and use had reached no conclusion. One member linked the weak market with the quiet group and asked outright whether the project was finished.
The team's answer was: “It's still here; this is a building phase, not a hype phase.” That offered no promise of a price recovery or new timetable for games; it described the present as continued building. The questioner still had no way to measure progress. The narrator noted that this became the team's set reply to doubts about the project's survival; later in the month, it repeated the same words.
Earlier the team had answered points about burning and games one by one. Now a single phrase set expectations, while the group still lacked a shared way to check progress. The narrator planned to watch whether a future question would draw an answer about specific work. For now, the team had said the project remained in development, and the doubt remained open.
