The push was put into play well before the past few days events occurred of the stock collapsing. If anything some of the recent decisions along with ones over the past year have been what has hurt Pokerstars at least in the short term having the public outcry opinion that they are either greedy or in trouble.
Pokerstars still has a stranglehold in the online poker market world wide with the next one in line not even close to them. They have rolled out casino games in various worldwide markets for a while now. I'm just curious to see what choices they make and was prior to the stock collapse but now I'm even more so interested.
It's all just more reasons why Isai deserves to be in the poker hall of fame.
For a poker site it's unrealistic to do everything perfect and cater to every poker player's wishes/beliefs but the crew under Isai did a damn good job prior to selling the company off.
Obviously I can nit pick about a few things like my $15 to $20 in FPPs I couldn't cash in when Black Friday hit or the rate people got for them in the fpp store. Those things could have been handled differently but it was an extreme situation where they handled a lot of things right such as proving to players that funds were really segregated cashing people out 1 to 2 weeks later after Black Friday which makes a lot of things on the surface look minor since they did so much right.
