|In September 2024, users who purchased Oxenfree on itch.io were warned that the game was going to be pulled from the platform on October 1st. Consumers would not be able to download the installers after this date, so they would lose access unless they had them backed up. Users speculated that Netflix, the parent company of the development studio, had ordered the move; however, no response from Netflix or the developers was ever published. This is particularly notable because it is against itch.io's terms of service: "Users shall retain a license to this content even after the content is removed from the Service."

|Through DriveSavers' partner program, independent or otherwise affiliated shops receive an approximately 10% commission for referring customers to the service (typical service being approximately $3,000.00, resulting in $300.00 of commission for partners). On top of this, partnered shops also receive DriveSavers branded merchandise (pens, antistatic mats and similar shop equipment, etc). Has relevance as this may result in partners having heavy incentives to refer customers to a service they may not need.

|Boundary, a multiplayer online-only first-person shooter, got shut down just a year after its release by Skystone games, and its publishing rights relinquished, citing "ongoing delays and a lack of updates from the developer". Studio Surgical Scalpels (the developer) stated that the publisher decissions were "extremely sudden and unreasonable", and attempted to "regain the rights to boundary". The game has been offline for more than a year at the time of writing, and no refunds or communications to the userbase has been made by Skystone Games.

~~|[[Automatic Content Recognition (ACR)]]~~

|Smart TVs of multiple brands have a feature called Automatic Content Recognition, which sends several screenshots per minute of whatever plays on the device to the manufacturer for analysis. This includes content from external inputs and thus could include private photos and videos of the user, as well as third parties who never agreed to anything of that nature. This is required to be opt-in in the US, but most people inadvertently agree to it with the EULA of the device.

|[[Microsoft]]

|Microsoft uses software engineers based in China to work on US Defense Department systems with laughably ineffective precautions. I think this is relevant in the context of Microsoft's attitude towards cloud security. In the past, master keys have been stolen by Chinese hackers and from my understanding, it's not even clear to what extent those groups still have access to Microsoft's internal systems, and by extension, Microsoft customers'. This needs more research though.

~~|Juicero~~

|Silicon Valley startup that received more than $100 million in funding from investors such as Google and Campbell's Soup. Produced a juicer which was sold for $700 (later $400). Device required a Wi-Fi connection and mobile app in order to use and only accepted "produce packs" sold exclusively by Juicero. Said produce packs had short shelf lives, required the machine to scan a QR code to process, and could be remotely disabled (for instance, if a component item was recalled). Packs were capable of being squeezed by hand (yielding slightly more juice in less time) as demonstrated in an infamous Bloomberg video, which led to the company offering refunds for its juicer. Suspended all operations and (again) offered refunds on September 1st, 2017.

-|Juicero
-|Silicon Valley startup that received more than $100 million in funding from investors such as Google and Campbell's Soup. Produced a juicer which was sold for $700 (later $400). Device required a Wi-Fi connection and mobile app in order to use and only accepted "produce packs" sold exclusively by Juicero. Said produce packs had short shelf lives, required the machine to scan a QR code to process, and could be remotely disabled (for instance, if a component item was recalled). Packs were capable of being squeezed by hand (yielding slightly more juice in less time) as demonstrated in an infamous Bloomberg video, which led to the company offering refunds for its juicer. Suspended all operations and (again) offered refunds on September 1st, 2017.<!-- an early example of what this wiki calls "new consumer issues" before they became widely accepted -->
