    Thank you for your detailed submission and articulating the usefulness of the badge for game developers. We agree with the sentiment and additional context can be found in the deprecation announcement. You are correct that there was an increase in requests to verify organizations. This process is also used to gain access to other features such as Drops campaigns and game analytics. Product updates to limit requests for a global badge and remove confusion, such as enabling the badge only on a matching category as you mention, will take considerable time while continuing to block new developers from using these organization features. This change will reestablish the 1-week SLA for organization requests and an improved implementation of the game developer badge can be considered in the future while we enable new game developers to onboard.

    As a viewer, I love the idea of the second implementation. Makes it clearer for everyone involved that 1) Someone who says they are a dev is actually a dev, and 2) That anyone with the highlight is a dev of the current game. Seems like a pretty straightforward good idea to me.
