Do they? It's not super common, but I can think of the JetBrains IDEs that I believe let you continue to use the last version of the IDE before you stopped paying. Alfred, the Spotlight alternative for Mac does something like that, and

I feel like they could have a sustainable model if they had a more expensive one-time purchase and every few years released a new major version that required a one-time purchase again. If you bought the old version you can continue to use i

Speaking of awkward Sega architecture, MattKC recently did a video[1] on his second channel about the 32X, which if you don't know was a weird module that slotted into the cartridge slot of the Genesis to enable it to play a separate l

If Apple's iPhone "monopoly" is illegal then sue Google for continuing to make Android worse. That's why I switched to iPhone and have no desire to switch back. Apple's crime here is they made a good product and con

It was one of the features, but it's existed for a while outside of the iMessage support. It just got a lot of eyes on it when they got the iMessage hack working (which Apple broke last I heard, not sure the current state of it)

Majora's Mask did something like that too. The game was centered around a 3 day cycle you had to do things in because at the end the moon would crash into the world and everyone dies. So you'd get stuff done, then time travel back
