FFS, just hand the product over to the community. Or have someone manage the project (security&#x2F;features&#x2F;quality) and accept patches from the community. Or use ANY of the revenue to hire someone outside the aqui-hire part-time to work on it.<p>It&#x27;s such a shitty, disrespectful, dangerous pattern to buy and shutdown products. The community knows it and bemoans it every time. Blogs have been set up just to highlight how shitty it is. Countless words written about how shitty it is. This isn&#x27;t like giving away free cookies and then stopping, it&#x27;s like standing someone up on a date.<p>&quot;—and we’re sorry. It’s not easy to say goodbye to products we all love...&quot; but it&#x27;s just business move, and business only leverages emotions and feelings when it&#x27;s profitable for us.
