Nobody is critisising your opinion, it's your understanding of facts that is being critisised. First you made an incorrect statement about Covid recovery time which you now seem to realise then repeatedly failed to understand the 3 month rule for marking games abandoned which, btw, is not a permanent mark as devs sometimes come back after long absenses (The Red Room) or another dev takes over (Bimbo Life Coach) in which case the mark is removed.I'm not sure why everyone seems to have a problem with my opinion. I am not saying anything negative about the dev and I only brought up Covid as that seems to be what everyone is assuming. If he has been on a ventilator for 2 months, it is safe to say he won't be returning to develop the game for quite some time. I don't want the game to be abandoned, and would still hold out hope that he returns to finish/carry on once able; again the only reason I think the abandon tag is a good idea is because people like me would rather not download and play such a promising game, just to then realize the dev hasn't made any contact for over 2 months, and any updates look unlikely at least for the foreseeable future.
I understand the site waits for 3 months, but as you said, the dev is normally very communicable, and people who had direct lines to him are saying it is complete radio silence.
I have been reading this forum, I have been on his patreon page, I'm not completely ignorant. I understand it seems many people don't share my opinion, but for some reason everyone here seems to think I am being malicious, and want the game abandoned. I can assure you I do not.
