Hey Cerulean. I'm new here, so I don't want to go and radically change the site around, but I've been running into a lot of games that have been "Under Development" for over 7 years now, many of which are still in the "Initial Design" stage. Could I start work on moving these games to the Abandoned section and also strip them of their Categories? I was thinking about moving games in the Initial Design Stage if they haven't been updated in 2 years and games that are "Nearly Complete"/"Playtesting" if they haven't been updated in 4 years. --[[User:MansterSoft|MansterSoft]] ([[User talk:MansterSoft|talk]]) 16:37, 5 February 2017 (PST)
 
I think that could be dangerous to drop them into an "abandoned" category, since, in many/most cases the game designer simply never took their game out of Playtesting (whether on principle or not). Many games in "Nearly complete" and quite a few in "Design Stage" are fully playable, and there some I can think of that are on some people's Starship Captain list. That said, I've got one of my games that I will happily put into the abandonware category (learned my lesson there). I think that, removing games, should require at least some agreement that the game isn't playable. That said, the "playtest" tag may be useless for many games at this point.--[[User:Nihilvor|Nihilvor]] ([[User talk:Nihilvor|talk]]) 23:06, 5 February 2017 (PST)
