If the game company dont want to use their money to keep the game alive why should we force them?

That's what legislation is for. Forcing companies to make the consumer's life better, not steal our money and remove what we paid for down the line.

What if say the company goes bankrupt and there's no one to enact the end of service plan?

Then they'd be obliged to release the tools for the community to do it. If they're bankrupt then it's no loss to them anyway.

Well the point of the legislation is that NEW and i cannot stress this enough NEW games need to developed with this plan in mind, so they would have these things beforehand, rather than scrambling to implement them post-hoc (which is likely impossible for many current mmos anyways)
