People mourning the shut down of online services and software…(and other things):
I'm going to show you this video about Dolby Axon a surround sound voice chat application for mac and pc. As you can see here, you could position different people around you and it would actually adjust the settings for your headphones so that it would actually sound like your friend was right in that position. How cool is that! Anyways it worked relatively well for some people, but was not successful enough for Dolby, an audio compression technologies company, to maintain.
People do get upset about endings in other medium, but they don’t have any artifacts that are trace measures of that thing that no longer function(such as application executable, old hardware, etc.)
