It's not because most gps come with pre installed maps that require you to get a new one every 5 years-ish. You're right that they don't remove features but they also aren't connected to the internet. It would be comparing Destiny to an old snes game. Sure you can still play those games, but they aren't being updated in real time. An online game is significantly different from old video games or GPS for that matter. Apple's to online oranges really. And it's kind of bad analogy because gps and video games are very loosely connect. Gps only perform one function and never update. If you were talking about gps apps in your phone, they are paid through other means and therefore aren't connected to video games at all because Destiny is the product and not a platform to advertise on. Also, Harmon could stop giving service on your GPS at anytime because you bought the hardware, not the satlite network to run it. I don't know why they would, but they could.
