Right! There's no possible way that he stopped working on the game years ago, abused the f95 abandoned tag rules to make sure there was nothing official-ish on the internet to clue in potential investors on the real status of the game, then reappropriated all his GPU's into a crypto-mining rig for a little extra scratch on the side. Then got so arrogant that he didn't believe F95 would ever abandon tag him, so he procrastinated creating a new "progress" update. Then went into a panic seeing the tag and realizing people searching for his game would see "abandoned" in the top results, and did some quick calculations on how long it would take to make a quick 5 minute update around the renders Baron already made, which would get the tag removed, and figured it would take about a month to code. And he definitely doesn't plan on getting back on a 3 month "work" schedule once that tag is gone, which only involves writing a couple paragraphs of fiction every 12 weeks about why the game has been delayed again.
That scenario would just be to ridiculous to be true!
