I look at it this way if the app still works with the latest version of lemmy server then it's not abandoned and the new version is done when it's done. Until it breaks it's not abandoned.
By that definition many of the games I have from the 90's on CD's that are still playable from companies that no longer exist are not abandoned ๐
Yeah the concepts of constant updates has been pushed by corporations as a loop hole for planned obsolescence. If the software works and you get what you wanted put of it then it's not abandoned by the users just the developers are finished with it for now. Hell look at pillars of Eternity just got an update after how many years. Also it's the very thing the https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ movement is all about.
