The CEO went on a podcast like a month ago and said they planned to go away, and come back with a new name. Not sure why anyone thinks this isn’t a marketing gimmick at this point… they literally told you it was going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a fake "going out of business" push in order to sell more copy, then they deserve to have it immediately followed by actually going out of business. Their sales model was ... weird enough that I assume they're actually closing up shop. If not, well, no one should give money to a company that would mislead its customer base that aggressively, surely.
