I worry that you might be right, but it seems to me like we're moving towards a Soviet economic model where we fleece the users today and disable the services tomorrow. It would not have occurred to me that applications installed on my phone might one day vanish due to the publisher not wanting to support them. I don't have this game, but I don't think it's likely that I would have expected this behavior. Acting like this is a normal, acceptable business practice when it is basically unprecedented in our field is not going to discourage the behavior. Between this and various cloud offerings vanishing after acquisition or because Google or whoever doesn't feel like supporting them, I think we're entering an era where software as a service has become software as a means for fly-by-night companies to defraud users and destroy their trust.
