I think you're assuming too much. That would be the right thing to do, but where did you read that Valve, Sierra, or Vivendi Universal made this "obligation"? It isn't mentioned anywhere in the license agreement.

Obligations like the one you mentioned are typical of business software contracts, not end-user software. There is less liability.

Comes under a Software Act that prohibits companies from selling non-working software, and to rectify any non-working problems.

Since HL2 does not require a monthly fee and if Valve went bankrupt, then they are under obligation from that Act to make sure all users can use their HL2 without steam. Or else they would be hit heavily with a fine on top of the bankruptcy. As does if Valve sold their company and the new owners got rid of steam they have to provide a means to play HL2.
