Sounds an awful lot like the path Yahoo! went down. Amazing products both built and bought, a strong focus on improving the Internet ecosystem in general... then scattershot sunsetting of beloved projects, key people getting unceremonously dumped as part of broad "refocusing" efforts - where Google is now -, leading to the gradual (then rapid) decay of the entire business, changes in leadership and objectives until the company is a jumble of unconnected parts and it eventually gets sold piecemeal to less bureauctic companies.
