A very convincing argument, and well supported too.
Ah yes, so because there are people who exaggerate and say a game is "dead" after one month without updates, that must needs mean that, when people who have good reason to be worried because of an overlong hiatus use the same word in its rightful context, they actually have no leg to stand on.
As we all know, people say "I'm starving" in a hyperbolic manner all the time, so therefore people who are really dying from malnutrition should stop complaining, because they use the same words.
