That wins the award for the most disingenuous press release of all time.
To whit : “…the company [Microgaming] does not dictate policy or corporate strategy to its licensees, all of which are independently owned companies.”
And : “Microgaming did not believe the volume of remaining business warranted the remainder of U.S.-facing licensees keeping their systems available for new registrations..”
So, in short, Microgaming will allow their licensees to make independent decisions, unless MGS says otherwise.
