Endless/Paused Status#429

Would love to have a couple more statuses for games that don’t really fit the standard criteria for completion, as well as games I’m not playing anymore but haven’t abandoned and plan to revisit eventually.

Example of an “endless” game would be something like Destiny or Genshin Impact, something you don’t really “complete” since it’s constantly updating and adding new content.

I don’t mind using “In Progress” for the endless games that I’m currently playing, but I agree that “Complete” isn’t a good status once you’re done with these kinds of games. GG has “Retired” in addition to “Complete” and “Abandoned” Retired probably isn’t the perfect word but it fills the need for this well.

I second this for strategy and similar games, like Cities Skylines, Stellaris, or Civilisation.

Strategy games are frequently replayed with a new scenario or different rules/leaders/races, etc, so it’s not really a “completed” game, as such (only a new playthrough).

Similarly, in builder games, like Cities Skylines, I tend to have a scenario (city, in this case) that I keep going for as long as I want.
I’ll play it for a while and add some more roads and buildings, then put it down to play something else for a while.
I’ll then return once more to it, but that could be weeks or months later, so it’s not really “Playing”, and it’s not “Completed” or “Abandoned” either.

We could perhaps use a status like “Evergreen”? (I currently have a list setup for Evergreen, but a status would be more useful)

Part of the reason I care about this is because moving a game to the archive with the status playing does not accurately sort by date. Thoughts to consider while working here.
