Only rules are site rules. This thread is meant to mark the death of a product, website or corporation.
I’ll go first, Parlaer.

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.

I know it’s been dead for a while now (a few years), but…

R.I.P Angry Dude. You can have your ChatGPT but nothing will match the charm and fun of Angry Dude.

You will be sorely missed. 😞

Never thought I’d see the day it died. This wasn’t on my 2025 bingo lol.

Things from Another World. The online comic store died in April. Likely a casualty of the death of diamond comics distributors.

There is nothing that irritates me more than being forced to either pay full price with Barnes and Noble or being forced to buy books from Amazon.

Less competition means higher prices and less customer service.

Sony Playstation. I hope they go under after deleting Studio Canal premium material from customers hard drives without any compensation or refund. Than they announce the end of physical gaming days later. How long will it be before they delete games from customer libraries? Maybe customer backlash will force them to rethink?

Game in the UK. The high street shops have all gone, but there is still the online store. They used to be everywhere, in nearly every high street or shopping mall.

Rest in peace Bioware. Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

Mass Effect is my favorite game of all time that isn’t Kotor. This is a gut punch. Especially to gutting 400 jobs.
