Ah, sorry, I must have missed the "if". Anyway, it's EA.

It's not EA. The designer, Ali Atabek, retained rights to the game series when his company (Mindcraft) went under, and he went to work for Interplay. I remember asking him why he didn't suggest to Brian Fargo doing an updated remake of Magic Candle back in 1998, and he said he'd try. Nothing came of it.
Now, Interplay's assets have been purchased, but Atabek never sold Mindcraft's intellectual property. And Atabek has never expressed an interest (that I know of) in preventing gamers from playing his titles. So--unless somebody can show these games on an ESA-protected list, I'd would assume they're still abandonware.
