2. Abandoned: used in the following cases:
   • The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
   • After 6 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
