Sounds more like they're building extensive exporters into a low-poly 
optimized trueSpace 6.  trueSpace has included the game-specific .X file 
exporter for quite some time (since V4, I think) so they're already viable 
for game content creation.  V4 also added Python scripting, which they 
touted as a way to create game demos, but I don't know how popular that 
feature was with users.  And there's no guarantee of perfect results with 
whatever trueSpace is up to.  Game engine forums are filled with tips and 
tricks to get exported files working properly with particular engines.  But 
that's why Blender's all-in-one environment makes such an appealing 
feature, so, yes, I definitely vote for the return of the game engine.  And 
trueSpace is not cross-platform.
