Discontinuation Bricking occurs when a product is "bricked" -- no longer functional -- because the producer has discontinued it. Discontinuation bricking almost exclusively occurs in products that require a connection to a remote server hosted by the producer. The product may become bricked if the company decided to shut down services or go out of business entirely. Discontinuation bricking is a significant harm to consumer rights.
