I remember that part too, I just don't feel like any of it was particularly egregious. Disappointing sure, but I suppose I disagree that anything about it was untoward.

I'm generally pretty hostile to companies being acquired and breaking their past customers' products. Shutting down various required cloud services, making software undownloadable, etc.

But I don't think that happened? The roadmap simply ended, but every watch that was out there kept working as-advertised for a good long while?
