Games should have a minimum support guarantee on the box, either in years or in minimum active players for which they will still operate a server.
Official WC3 and SC1 servers are still up for Blizzard, because Blizzard has an implicit guarantee of eternal support with each game that helps their image immensely (people trust that any new Blizz game bought will also be around for as long as people want to play it)
