When a game is Abandoned, that does not mean it might not be picked up again in the future, ofc the odds are it won't. But after 1 year of inactivity, a Abadonded tag is issued so people will not continue to waste time checking and hoping (causes stress). and in some cases with people that actually have money, to waste spending it on creators that do 20% of a game then let ppl feed them money for doing no work, That is a problem that has been going on for a very long time with lots of promising games. This one being one of them, the issues with Patron you guys are talking about is cause Patron found out he was leeching money and doing nothing to earn the money so they cut him off.
