This is my understanding of abandonware
What abandonware is
1. The definition of abandonware
Abandonware is defined as any PC or console game that is:
1. At least four years old
2. Not being sold or supported by the company that produced it or by any other company. When a certain piece of Abandonware is later found to be sold or supported by a company, then it ceases to be Abandonware.
# What is NOT abandonware
Software that is either:
1. Less than four years old
2. Still sold and/or supported by a company
# How something ceases to be abandonware
When a software company decides that they are going to start selling or supporting an old games again.
Daggerfall fits this criteria or any other conceivable criteria.
