Disney did back down on that argument once it hit the news cycle properly. I guess even they could tell how bad it was making them look.

They also probably realized that the judge may rule that tos aren't legally enforceable contracts. That would cause problems for every other corp.
Doubtful.

I wouldn't say burning given how long it takes between updates. With Luxee's history with the game and the fact that it's been six years already with 2 of those on hold we would be luck if the next update after this one comes out at all.
It never was. Luxee has always been updating it and posting progress on his own website, but this board's admins have a weird rule about the Abandoned tag where if the developer isn't updating their Patreon page then it's considered "Abandoned" after a few months.

There are special circumstances for the tag.
It's not a weird rule considering most of the games tagged abandoned are quite abandoned...
Except this game isn't abandoned and you can see that it isn't abandoned by checking Luxee's website. Yet, the Abandoned tag remains...
aaaaaaarh, this Millie mass update is living rent free in my mind these last months, please Luxee gimme ittttttttt

Then report it, then in the other box explain why it shouldn't be tagged as such...
And the tag was applied well before any update was posted on his website.
Bro it's just a procedure to keep somethings in order, of course there are going to be some outliers, but Luxee SS is a desert and his Patreon last post was in fev and was just him saying "I'm alive". I do check his site regularly and knew he was alive, but i understand the need of these rules to the tag.
A lot of devs would never pronunciate about the game status and kept their crowdfunding pages running, and a personal site isn't a 'safe place' to base the status, since there is no legal terms to make/press the dev keep his word.
By thumb it's best to go like this:
Abd tag? Find their social pages to check. Are they active? Cool. No? Move on.

To be fair, the updates I've seen are so slow it might as well be abandoned. The last one I saw said something along the lines of 10/16 things ready for the update after month of it being worked on, and that was more than a month ago. I don't even remember when the previous one was and there wasn't much difference in progress.
Anyway, it has been what, a year and a half since the last update?
What "order" is it keeping? People can still post in the thread and bump it. The Abandoned tag doesn't hide the thread or move it into quarantine. In theory it's useful for appropriately tagging games that have actually been abandoned, but in practice it's also used in the case of this game as a weird tool to spite the game creator because they aren't updating their Patreon page. Why does it matter that they aren't updating their Patreon when their website, which is also linked in the OP, is showing progress on the update?
At best it's a strange an arbitrary use of the Abandoned tag because it isn't an automated process to tag the thread, it was deliberately done, and whomever deliberately did so also chose to ignore the fact that the creator is posting progress updates on their website. At worst, it's a method by admins to try and "motivate" or shame creators into releasing updates quicker, which is just... strange considering this is a pirate software forum.
Anyways, I've said my peace. Moving on.
Please this game was amazing and it had so MUCH potential and I had a lot of fun whit it, if it returns it will be the greatest comeback

Please read at least one page back before writing stuff like that, so you can read this:
For some reason an update on their own website is less trustworthy than a post on Patreon/SubStar when it comes to tagging a game as abandoned on this site.
This dev takes many months to deliver each update, but least they are consistent with that frequency for several years.
