No, I'm not missing that perspective, I don't sell games myself. I simply consider the scenario you're describing (group of players organize themselves to play a 6 year old game, that wasn't popular to begin with), to be such an incredibly rare case that no company should be obligated to keep servers running to accomodate for it.

Companies see their player data and treat servers accordingly. Why do you think there hasn't been any real backlash to this? Because nobody plays these games anymore.  
There has been a lot of backlash? Players often do big last get togethers when servers are going down and sometimes they even manage to get companies to keep them up longer.

Also never underestimate the amount of games with weird cult followings. IE this thread and the linked on about people being upset James Cameron's Avatar game was shut down. (I was upset back then too!)
