You are correct in being worried about a lot of this. Former PlayerIO (now Yahoo GamesNet) is what runs the Helmet Heroes game servers. Yahoo bought them about 2 years ago. If it were to shut down, I would have a massive undertaking in transferring the games servers to another service. Fortunately though, I (and a few other developers) have contacted Yahoo about it and they've said that the shutdown of Yahoo Games will only effect the Yahoo Games website and that the formerly PlayerIO backend servers will remain up and running, unaffected.
So yea, the Helmet Heroes server company has no plans of shutting down (that I am aware of). Of course, anything can happen, the future of any website you use is uncertain. If they do however, I will of course do my best to transfer the games servers to another service.
