Right, that's the article that doesn't explain why they're doing it.
It's reportedly been running for seven years, so I suppose I just assumed that they didn't want to pay to maintain the online service for all eternity.
The other reply's probably also got a good point in terms of actual staff doing support for it, too.
Probably because they're shifting development work to something else. Doing it this way and making it run offline frees up developers.
