ddent, SS2 has way less players than SS1, and the vast majority of them do not like the gameplay of SS1 itself. It would never combine. And if, hypothetically, they did combine, it wouldn't change much.

ss1 would return if ss2 and ss1 combined. There are many players like about ss1. ss1 one is depleting and losing the good players because people think ss2 has more players.

Bro... say SS1 has 200 people playing nowadays, that is 2k from every player, which, quite frankly, isn't possible. No one has all that money, let alone to buy something like this game. Also, not everyone would contribute. And there is no way I can think of to keep all this money in one place, waiting for the others to pay their part.
