my point is that it's not enough for a game to be still sold. if it's sold but there is no supported provided for it - it means that it is abandoned. like any other merchandise.
Lack of support does not define who owns the game. If a company owns it, they still have the right to make money off it, even if they're no longer supporting it: their code, their game.

Legal ownership determines who has the rights. You can argue that lack of support constitutes lack of ownership in the courts if you'd like, but we all know beforehand you're going to get screwed. And it's a bit disingenuous, knowing that, to suggest this assumption to others.
