As the title says, do we need the tag infinite?
At this moment, the tag has only 15 questions, and no usage definition.
The questions tagged are mostly about infinite 2d games, looping content (background), and procedural generation.

I think we should black list it as it can be applied to a lot of situations, which are not really connected.
And I don't think anyone is an expert in 'infinite'.

Nobody out of game development context knows what procedural is, i bet newbies will search first for "how to make infinite world map in GameMaker" than "Procedural terrain algorithm C++"
implying they even do search

\$\begingroup\$ It's not clear to me from this post: do you think we should leave the tag or do we need to remove it? Or replace it? \$\endgroup\$ – Alexandre Vaillancourt♦ Jun 8 '16 at 10:49

\$\begingroup\$ I think it should stay, if we remove it, newbies will post questions about "infinite generation" with other unrelated tags, this is the closest we can approach "procedural" to "street language" \$\endgroup\$ – PRDeving Jun 8 '16 at 12:14
