Nah bad post. I would prefer if they made them free, but not selling things because they are abandoned or some people dont like them is shit. Preserve all games as much as possible. Lots of famous art wouldnt exist today if we were to throw everything away that isnt seen as good or finished at the time. A warning label is perfect, let people know that it might not be what they expect, but let people play it if they want to.
I guess there’s also legal reasons they wouldn’t want to make it free, just in case the creator sues them saying they were still working on it or something.
You control the buttons you press. Just don’t buy them if you see the warning.
I’ve put down projects for years and then picked them back up. Where’s the line in the sand for “removal”? 6 months? A year? You show me a line in the sand I’ll show you a developer who was pushing the next update a day later. I don’t always agree with steam, but this is a very valid option.
What if it’s multiplayer? What if your friend group is playing an EA game and they tell you to pick it up but you can’t because it was just delisted because the developer hasn’t updated in too long?
The warning is valid
