Imagine this scenario :<p>Big company sees Jetbrains income &#x2F; username; buys Jetbrains. Decides to cut costs, lets a few devs go. Income doesn&#x27;t change but profit rises. Let a few more devs go. Switch to minimum viable development model. Customers are locked in to access their work, don&#x27;t really care about updates because they already like the product. Gradually customers drift away. Not enough revenue for minimum viable product, close it down. All customers can&#x27;t access files &quot;too bad&quot;.
