People can read the damn topic and see that it's abandoned.
It literally says it on the first page.
The only way people know it's a scam is via this topic.
Closing it would do the opposite of what you want.

He's going to announce the next date for the next delay
That's not how this site works. All games get exactly one thread, which is never deleted unless the game violates the loli rule and there's no option to remove it. That thread is never locked/moved/etc. The Abandoned tag is warning enough, if people can't be asked to familiarize themselves with site functionality that's on them.

How about this: Patreon only polices when devs set update dates and misses at least 1-3 (In a row?)
You can keep your patreon pages that are made just to get donations, while going after devs who obviously lie

Nah, make it 5$ - 10$, check

, the scammer still makes 5k/month, and math approves that. If u think that's a nice income, just look at how much ICSTOR makes.Man, some ppl are... breathtaking.
Personally, I don't give a shit about how much some smart dudes pay for a scam, problem is, others will do the same, and if the patrons don't care about their money, neither does Patreon, so you can't stop the milkers from milking the supporters and stop developing their games.If this shit keeps up, and nobody sanctions this kinda behavior, we'll lose all the major devs or at least all the promising games that pop up here on f95, that's what some of these patrons don't understand.
If a scammer like Scamdrop doesn't release a damn update in 1y, he will never finish the damn game, stop paying for it. He'll probably release 1 or 2 updates if he loses most of his patrons.Unfortunately, it's closer to $6k-$6.5k. Graphtreon underestimates unknown income by a large margin for creators who have a high proportion of high pledge patrons.Nah, make it 5$ - 10$, checkYou must be registered to see the links, the scammer still makes 5k/month, and math approves that.

We don't know that. He might just as well decide, "ah, fuck it, nobody cares about the game, I'm off the hook." Or it might not have any effect on him whatsoever. If he doesn't want to release anything, he won't release anything.
It's far more likely we see an update someday if he's not incentivized to keep doing nothing.
He's also getting sales from Steam and wherever else he's selling it.
Noooooooo. I got tricked into playing this. I know it says Abandoned but why does it says 0.98? There is no way this is in a 0.98 state. More like 0.33.
I thought it was pretty much done except the ending or something.
Now I ended up playing something that ends halfway and won't be finished. Awful. Please remove the 0.98 from the title, it's misleading. Put Part 1 of 3 instead
P.S. Someone get a hold of the character models and finish the game

Nothing is likely. It's the guy who has literally zero incentive or reason to put out release dates, and yet he did and broke them every time.
I know that this opinion is pretty unpopular, but:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's his legal right to sell his game anywhere he sees fit. Patreon is clear that any promises made by the creator are not binding. Steam doesn't offer any protection from dev promises made in bad faith. And on his site he's free to set whatever rules he wants.
I can totally understand somebody who found his game, played it, liked it and paid money to get the latest version. No point discussing anyone's tastes and whether this game is worth the money you're paying for it (5 or 20 bucks depending on the version).
Ignoring Steam and Gumdrop's site for a moment, and focusing on Patreon only, what I cannot understand is how that same new patron, after looking around and finding out that:
• there's no progress for 2.5 years;
• Gumdrop set deadlines, broke them and made excuses every time;
• anyone who pledged money between Part IX and Part X release is going to get Part X without extra charges:
After finding out all of that still decides to support him for more than just one pledge.
If anything, 0.3. The game is supposed to be divided into three Acts, ten Parts each. So if Part X ever gets released, the game then becomes version 0.3333...
Someone did and made stuff that everyone's after, which are scenes of the characters in sexual situations. Oh, and the textures are higher quality, too, so it's better than whatever Gumdrop has to offer.
He probably makes just as much money through his own website's subscriptions and through the various niche places he has them places.
surely this surprise that is rumored on the 30th is not the update, also because in theory it should not be a surprise since the game was "to be released by October" (after 2 years of disappointments)
for me there may be two hypotheses :
- a useless Halloween special
- the announcement of the umpteenth date, December
(sorry for my bad english)
