It's sort of depends on how you define done?

> Released, but content still planned

Silksong is like this, there are other games where they release patches for years?

Is done no longer supported? I ask because take any paradox grand strategy game, if I understand your rubric, they're done only if they are no longer the supported mainline game, IE Crusader Kings 2 is done, as 3 is where all the support is going?

To me, done means: Is there any other major content or features coming. Its not necessarily about support but, with sk=ilksong for isntance, yes the game is released but if you play it today, vs some time in the future once all the dlc is out, you are effectively playing two sepereate games. I like to make sure I play a game only once all of the content that will be in it is released.

Obviously this is imperfect because look at the witcher 3, after more than a decade they announced a new DLC (Which is a tie in to the new game but still)

There's a qualitative difference to me. Categorising Stardew Valley the same way as Cyberpunk because they both receive content updates feels unfair to Stardew Valley (because the continual content updates for the latter come from a place of respect to the community, while the former comes from overpromising and under-delivering).

But if this is your rubric, and you find an audience that finds value from this rubric, I don't mean to denigrate your work here!

Ok interesting, I've got a clearer idea of what you're looking for, the probabilities that are sprinkled in the report make a little bit more sense

Basically is this a done experience that I can have, if I'm summarising you correctly
