Re your last paragraph above, will NEVER happen. If a publisher goes defunct, it goes thru bankruptcy proceedings and all the DRM keys and code are _assets_. So can't be just given away, they would have to be distributed to creditors or sold to pay off creditors. And forcing a company to distribute against their will effectively destroys the entire concept of "private property".
If a single player game that uses an online DRM server is no longer usable because the company has gone tits up what about the loss of my property. Does that not matter, why is it that the consumer is always last in the pecking order?
The EULA you signed says it isn't your property.
