There's nowhere that seems to have an actual discussion thread about this, and tbh I find it a bit odd/unclear what the new changes are for it;
I can completely understand the labelling of thread titles, and putting in a tag system, both of those should definitely be done, but moving Patreon games not only into their own sub-forum, but out of Hentai entirely while DLSite and other games that are far less finished than many of the Patreon-funded games get to remain in Hentai's core forum, not even put into a sub-forum.
Would just like some clarity on why these choices were made for Patreon games specifically, and especially if they'll ever be allowed back in Hentai Games as well as whether they'd be allowed in a sub forum at least within Hentai Games, etc.
EDIT: Examples of threads with DLSite or other non-Patreon funded games that are WIPs on the first two pages alone;
https://ulmf.org/threads/urutoramanboo-souruobufantazumu-soul-of-phantasm-rj219900.11545/ (no demo linked on thread)
https://ulmf.org/threads/cauchemar-merutinaito-melty-night-rj213056.8591/ (game seems to be completely dead, last blog post was in 2017)
https://ulmf.org/threads/maitora-zukinchantona.7404/ (game is still incomplete, sporadically updated)
https://ulmf.org/threads/libraheart-the-sword-of-succubus.11962/ (just announced, but definitely incomplete)

EDIT #2: Was told that they're doing it to Patreon, Enty, Ci-en and all other funding models, and that they'll be moved back into Hentai Games at some point, with the subforum name possibly changed.
It still doesn't make any sense though why they would be made into a separate forum though given that where or what you're funded by doesn't fundamentally change a game's makeup inherently, IMO to be truly fair a game should be moved into "under construction" if it's anything but fully complete, regardless of funding by a crowdfunding site or not.
- Are the Patreon games ever getting allowed back in the Hentai forums?
- Why is "Games under construction" under "Forum Construction" when games under construction have nothing to do with the forum's construction? Shouldn't they have their own sub category just like MnF and Online Games do in Hentai Games, if they really have to be considered to be a "different type" of game?
- Speaking about that, there's numerous DLSite games that are under construction (you can see three of them on the front page of Hentai Games right now), many of them without even a demo posted, and many that have went completely stagnant with no signs of life; shouldn't those be moved to "Games under construction" as well? If not, why not?
