obsoletize

To make obsolete.

To obsoletize poisoning non-smokers, Charles Knows invented a Safe Smoking Lounges (SSLs) and got permission to erect it on Coney Island Beach to see how many smokers used it voluntarily. SSL's have a solar-powered ceiling fan which blows cigarette smoke up a chimney to the atmosphere to prevent the cigarette smoke from injuring non-smokers.

Enforced Obsolescence

A more heavy-handed version of Planned Obsolescence usually employed in the high-tech industry, especially software. Consumers of a product are forced to upgrade through some new technology rendering an old one literally unusable, usually through unnecessary incompatibility issues.

Porting a game from the 360 to the PC, rewritten to require DX10 when DX9 was used originally and clearly runs the game, can only be Enforced Obsolescence.
