You pretty much figured it out. As long as a dev makes a Patreon post once every three months, their game won't get the "abandoned" prefix. That gets ignored though if the game reaches two years without an update, regardless of posts on Patreon. Being as though DPC makes posts pretty often, BAD will probably never get the tag.I would want to say that I understand but on the other hand... There is BaDIK with update once a year and it never gets Abandoned status - why is that? Because DrHighEgo regularly gives info about what he has done and what is he working on right now, some spoilers and renders from upcoming update etc.
I don't buy this "do not want to disappoint you guys" thing. Work on the game as long as you want and as long as Patreons are willing to tolerate your tempo but just post some info from time to time for people to know that project is still on... Dev is either scamming or I don't know, does not know that regular info about his game makes people mode hyped (which is good for him)? Dunno, will see.
ps. BaDIK is the first example that came to my mind, obviously there are many more.
