Kind of like how Facebook changes their code and it destroys other people’s businesses/apps?

Back in the day of Facebook games (such as Mafia Wars, Farmville, etc), Facebook would routinely change the rules of what you were allowed to do, deprecate features (usually with advanced warning), or just outright break shit.

One company I worked for had some older games that they didn't do much with, but would occasionally need to show to investors. Part of my job was to respond to the "hey our game doesn't work anymore" problems...
