The cloud service was used for burst and theirs no reason to believe that wasn't/isn't its primary function. You don't buy a miner and turn it off when its still very profitable, makes no sense. Some burst mined were used to give the coin buy support to keep the price up just to keep it going.
To be honest, I'm not fully aware what the cloud service was used for as it originally existed. I do have the understanding there were way more extensive plans regarding it, and I also have some of my own ideas of how the idea could be taken further.
Doesn't make a lot of sense the developer would communicate with you and leave the rest of the community, some of which even bought in, in the dark.
Whether or not it seems to make sense, I am in fact communicating with him. It's easy to make guesses and end up in false conclusions about people's actions if you don't know the details and the backgrounds. We're all just people here, developers included, and sometimes our life situations do not leave us with the time or energy even to communicate with everyone - no matter how much we may want to.
Perhaps (and hopefully) the original dev will be able to pop by some time soon to say hi again. Until things have been sorted out I would suggest refraining from making any conclusions based on guesswork.
Yours,
Jyri
