He saved some jobs of his former employees and Gas Powered Games already died with Wildman. So, just let him go, he will be forgotten soon enough.

A so he's just another older and formerly-revered developer that's been reduced to a cog in the shit machine, excreting casual/online/tablet games. It wouldn't surprise me if he tried a kickstarter that didn't suck sometime in the future.

Shouldn't surprise anyone. Wildman was totally fabricated bullshit made to solicit charity.

While saying he took what he could makes sense, it also seems obvious in this industry that all the talented devs would have found jobs elsewhere rather quickly.

Like I said earlier, all the sane people left GPG and are working on Planetary Annihilation. The sad truth is that Chris Taylor's sole exceptional games were TA and SupCom and even then he was not the only person responsible for why they were good. The rest of his track record was subpar and instead of focusing on what he could do right (RTS) he focused on making mediocre hack and slash. SupCom 2 being a major fuck up didn't help.
