Planned obsolescence is bad enough, but this is something much worse and downright evil. When Amazon zapped people's e-books right from their Kindles, that got a deserved outcry, but at least that had the flimsy justification of Amazon not having the rights to the books in question and so they were in some sense illegal copies. Here the only justification is "Nah, we don't feel like this anymore", and they won't even let you continue running it at your own risk with no updates. "Don't be evil" indeed.
