EULA's are especially known to disclaim all kinds of responsibility from the company!

Yes EULA's are a pain, but when your in a contract your in a contract.

Now imagine if Blizzard say for some weird reason went bust, they have to provide a means for people to play World of Warcraft, that is Law.

A huge massive fine on top of bankruptcy vs bankruptcy and a small server program for people to use to make own servers etc, I think they would choose option 2.

Dont forget just because they go bankrupt, a huge fine can still be made onto them which would be recovered via sale of company etc.
