While I agree . . . (Destiny)

I mean it's not like people are all that surprised when parts for their 1998 Buick Century are discontinued.

Does Buick show up at their house and rip parts out of their car when the discontinuation rolls around?

Things work very differently for software licenses versus hardware purchases.

People are always quick to use the car analogy, and I've never actually seen it be anything close to accurate.

Seems accurate to me. The requirements for regular maintenance no longer make sense, so the parts (or the support) stop. I figure that's what is going on here. Either that or they're stopping support so people are forced to buy the New Hotness.
