As a software engineer, this is a bad decision, i'd much rather prefer you making a new game from ground up rather than building upon old stuff, i'm sure people would gladly pay for among us 2.
You won't be able to extend and iterate fast over the new game if you build it on top of legacy code, it rarely works, especially when you're a small team.
Couldn't agree more, as a Software Tester in a Company of about 20 employees. Having tested my fair share of updated legacy modules, they are always full of bugs, and you spend years trying to polish them to perfect. When a simpler solution is to sunset the old version and dedicate the time to a full rebuild. The new build version is always vastly better than the original and gives far more scope for improvement and additions.
