I don't think it is in their interests to close such a project and lose a lot of money.
If their site is still up and running, then yes, it isn't in their interest to shut it down. Then it is not clear why they ruined their impeccable reputation, which they had for 10 years.
At least, it's strange that they want to continue to make money, but at the same time, sharply alienate themselves from the community and actually just ignore the requests of users.
