I feel stupid for completely forgetting that recent account hijacking incident. I knew in the back of my mind, that business wasnt still not fully resolved on their end. So while I still believe this decision ultimately sucks for the community, its probably their safest bet for hopefully at least the time being.

It just doesnt make sense from a business standpoint otherwise why they'd shoot themselves in the foot in that regard.
