Yep, that happens all the time even when it works at first.  Remember
divx?  Everyone's video library broke when that company shut down.
Microsoft PlaysForSure (audio DRM, called PlaysForShit by its critics)?
Same thing IIRC.  Aww heck, there's a whole WP article section:

I'm less fussy about software that I'm use for work, where it's
basically a business calculation whether I get more immediate value from
carrying out the task at hand with the tool than the tool costs up
front.  Plus, it's usually the company paying for it anyway.  But I
still prefer FOSS so I at least have some chance of fixing it if it
breaks.  That's been a route out of multiple jams over the years ;-).
