Yee-haw. Another tardy reply. I forgot to check back in again. Well, rather more a matter of actually having time to do so when it happens to cross my spaced-out, stressed-out mind, but whatever. Such is life in this modern world.
At any rate, yeah, as far as I can tell, it's abandoned, at least in the informal "abandonware" sense...Not legally, but then the whole abandonware thing has always been more about a "grey" area where ethics, ideals, and legality overlap in a rather fuzzy fashion, rather than a proper, clean legal definition. Seldom are any so-called abandonware offerings actually abandoned or released in the proper legal sense.
But insofar as whether or not it is still sold anywhere, it's "abandoned. To the best of my knowledge it cannot be found for sale anywhere, in even limited quantities, for any price, save perhaps the odd secondhand preowned "yard sale" copy on ebay or the like. I know Underdogs and her handpicked admins were quite stringent and conscientious about ensuring that an item was unavailable for sale before it was made available for download, and items were routinely checked to ensure that this stayed true, if an item's status did change the item was made unavailable for download again. ROE2 and Breach 3 were up for quite awhile before the site's untimely death, so this tends to support the assumption that they are abandoned. Also, a cursory check via google with 3 or 4 different search queries shows only abandonware download sites with any mention of either roe2 or b3. Nothing offering for it sale. If there are any "buy link specialists" hereabouts, feel free to doublecheck, but I'm pretty certain it's not available for sale anywhere. So...Does that purty well cover it for ya, then? 'Cause it's time for me to quit my endless rambling and hit the rack fer about three hours of sleep, if I'm lucky.
