Didn't they just buy the userbase? I don't think they bought the technology - they also made a lot of devs redundant after the purchase?

- saghul 7y agoThey bought the IP, not the product.
- alias_neo 7y agoI'm not sure the exact details of the purchase, I just know that a deadline was placed on our HipChat installation at work (it would not be renewed, and only supported until date X). It seems their ultimate goal was to shut down a competitor, so, with the result being the same, I suppose the specifics matter very little.
