at the least i think the rule needs to be conditional, like "if the dev is still regularly posting patreon updates to the game's status then it doesnt get tagged" or something.Its not flawed. Its necessary. This is just ONE example of someone doing the right thing. However for every good apple there are tons of bad apples. And that is why its there. More often than not when a dev goes 18 months without updates, its a shit scenario and the dev is being prick. Especially when we have an On Hold tag for when a dev does need to pause their work.
Perhaps other tags are needed, like Demo like this one was. But the abandon tag does more good than harm many times over to communicate to people when a game is truly not worth the investment.
also a policy being flawed AND necessary aren't mutually exclusive. i agree the need for an abandoned tag exists, i am simply saying the execution leaves something to be desired
