I think the biggest issue is the coder needs to live on Andreas' side of the pond. You are right, there are probably plenty of people in north America available, but you have to remember the problems the Trunzos had using an abstentia programmer. There was a lot lost in terms of communication and they were unable to be hands on soto speak because they snail mailed updates back and forth at the time. Even though technology has improved and communication and file exchanges would be improved, I don't fault Andreas for wanting someone he can communicate with face ti face as needed.
The final thing is, Andreas paid to take over this title, I am pretty sure at some point he wants a greater return on his investment than he has received, so he (or someone he hires) will be working on fixes and new ideas at some point. In the meantime the Fighter updates and little things like continuing to build the commentary database will have to suffice and can still keep the game fresh, despite some of the existing issues with strategies, cuts, etc.
