Repeatedly being acquired to be immediately shut down sounds like quite a good business model, if your goal is to be paid.
I wonder what other kinds of products and services would be good for that model. In other words, would tend to be acquired for good money in order to stop them.

- jlokier 7y agoPresumably, a company that wants your product to be shut down. Potentially apocryphal example: I've heard of a certain FPGA company that bought a startup which produced FPGA compilation tools that could target multiple vendors' devices, in order to stop multi-vendor tools from existing because it made switching vendors too easy.
