Sounds to me like someone in a board room did a cost analysis and decided the number of subscribers lost would be far less money lost than the expense of keeping a server on the west coast up and running. Which while I understand that this is a business, it's shady AF to say the least. By not telling anyone, you were simply just trying to sneak out one more month of subscriptions before the news went public. It's sad when a company forgets that it's customers that make it successful, and that if you provide good service, profits have never failed to follow. Your decisions are short sighted and while will boost your stock holders dividends for a short while, will eventually result in the death of the organization. Get your resume's ready boys and girls, you're going to need them soon.
