With this being a Theme article, could you provide a brief explanation (i've got no major issue with it, just want to clarify what it's about) over the ways in which storefront shutdowns can affect the consumer?

While a storefront shutdown can be annoying, unless it affects a product a customer has bought, rather than one they intended to buy, I don't know how it should be treated. Physical and digital products are discontinued all the time, but it's not generally considered a consumer protection issue.(inability to redownload purchased games and so on would all be valid reasons for it)

Although, thinking about it, it will certainly be a good 'hub' for the various incidents relating to this... and it's not a bad thing to have a good definition for and overview of on the Wiki. Idk, really just interested in your thoughts here!
