> Nobody has made them do this Depends how you look at it. The current climate gives corporations incentives to perform self-wokifying PR stunts (like this) to shield themselves from random angry tweets going viral. It's risk management, not the company being moral or anything. If people stopped buying individual products because they're no longer "fine", like it's always been done, then I'd agree with you: it's no longer profitable, and it's their own motivation to discontinue it. But the current trend is that a digital angry mob will try to burn the company/creator/distributor and their reputation with it, even if the product is just there for historical reasons. Such trend is turning regular IP management into a sea of cost and risk matrices, and I wouldn't be surprised if within 5 years there are insurance policies (and therefore actuaries) dealing with cancellation scenarios. > Many books stop being published all the time for all kinds of reasons Not with auto-back-patting press releases, self-congratulatory social media posts and look-at-us official statements to the media.
