You are probably right. What is going to decide this is what companies will do with their copyright rights. The companies( specially the big ones)grow more zealous each day.Proof of this is the rules they want to approve and the organizations that they want to create to certify that those rules are applied.
Besides, if the companies see that many people are interested in their old games they might republish it, as Atari did, just to make some extra cash. if this hapens, the games aren't abandonware any more.
But hopefuly this will not hapen, and it's only a matter of time until games like fallout are considered abandonware.
Long live the abw scene.Long live Abandonia.
