What could possible go wrong with that.
Also, I understand that Nefs nonwhere here, but even then, shouldn't that thread actually be about his game? - Thread starter monroe

That's when you have to decide that it's either your passion project or not. Criticism is easy and people dish it out left and right without offerin constructive criticism. It's because a lot of players these days are young and if you're not givin them what they want on a silver platter, they throw tantrums. When that happens, you should just use the ignore button on them.

Well, we can either have intellectual conversations about random things or we can go back to the annoying and mindless "Oh no, the game has an abandoned tag after only 3 months?". Or, we could also just have a moderator lock the topic and we all go our separate ways.What could possible go wrong with that.
Which would you prefer?
Also, even if a dev were to abuse the ban hammer for their own thread... what would be the harm in that? It's their own thread. Abuse of that power in that only those willing to kiss the feet of the dev are allowed to post in that thread, it wouldn't benefit the dev in any way other than stroking their own ego, and the haters can still download the game and lurk in the thread. They can also still create a side thread discussing / hating on the game and the dev would have no say in it.

Neither. I can also talk about the weather, the state of my country, the bill I need to pay or whatever comes across my mind. Which would you prefer?
From my standpoint this thread is about Nef's game, neither about the prefixes, the rules, some other games, the weather or whatever came across my mind.

At this point, your guess is as good as everyone else's. Apparently the horse has been poked several times and it's not movin. Not sure if they've checked it's pulse yet or not. Ahaha

In this case, it just means 3 months of no contact. Status of game development is completely unknown as the dev is MIA.

Seriously
This game is only truly abandoned if Nef died or became terminally ill
But also there are rules about the tag
for consistency
Longer back there seemed to be inconsistency, But I see (in the threads I follow) the same time frames for any that ghost for a while.

That's the real issue imo. There's a real bad fallacy that just because a game's well established it won't be abandoned so they only want to support successful projects to not waste their money. Ignoring that lots of well established games go on year+ long hiatuses where the dev's still collecting patreon money. I'd rather rely on leaks for big projects and support smaller less established ones so they don't get abandoned. One of the games on my signature almost got abandoned because the dev made it their full time job too quickly while still in school and was making less than their cost of living. Game's massively better than literally any game on here that makes 10k+ a month but it was fighting to just survive.

Dude, check the site rules re: prefix tags or even just read the same page your own post is on

There is no way to distinguish between abandonment due to ghosting or legitimate abandonment (I've asked for it), you've been on this site for nearly 6 years so should know that by now
My problem, far from unique to me, is seeing people refuse to look up answers for themselves and expecting others to do it for them. You're an adult, you should know how search works
whether it's abandoned for ghosting or officially abandoned through a statement, it's still abandoned. i dont believe i needed any more info than what i had.
what puzzles me though, is you taking my general uncommitted statement of surprise as some kind of personal attack.

Yes, that's my point, nobody knows so there's no point in asking. Maybe Nef has decided to give up on MLC, maybe he's having writer's block and is too ashamed to say anything after promising v0.35 was nearly ready or maybe he's having more health issues (a heart problem saw hospitalised a couple of years ago meaning he was radio silent for several months and almost earned the abandoned prefix then
The point, again, is that he hasn't said anything so we nobody knows and all this conversation is doing is creating alerts that give others false hope hence I'm unwatching the thread for a while (I also left his discord for that reason)

Honestly, at this point I just hope that Nef can pull himself together to make that happen and give this game the ending it deserves.
That scene is really all that is necessary to bring things to a conclusion. It may feel a bit rushed (ideally it should be led up to in 2 or so updates) but this game does deserve an ending and a rushed one is better than nothing.
