I know of a company and their business is basically: identify software products that have customers but aren’t really being developed any more. Buy them and reimplement the software in a more modern way. Sell it again to the existing users, who are generally happy to buy because now they’re getting updates and support and don’t need to keep that old Windows 98 box around because it’s the only thing that ran the old version.
