To a large degree, the responsibility is also on Smyte, right? Selling to a big corp is one thing, and once you are no longer owner of a company you've washed your hands of future decisions. But at the time when they agreed to the sale they were still owners of the company and their hands had not been washed and they could have and arguably should have stipulated some conditions for how the service would be wound down following the sale.
