Last straw 

The latest in a series of distressing but regularly tolerated events that gives rise to the first obvious sign of intolerance towards the offending party, usually in the form of a drastic decision or the offer of an ultimatum. May have come from shortening the idiom/expression "the straw that breaks the camel's back", relating the distress caused by the offending party to stacking straw on the back of a camel over time until it collapses under the weight.
After a series of non-explicit infarctions, Jimmy McGill loudly disturbing his coworkers with his bagpipes is the last straw that forces Cliff Main to fire him from his law firm without cause.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
