Although I really don't love HUDs, as MTT player I just don't like playing in sites where HUD is not allowed while I am still playing on sites where it is. It would give too much edge to those player NOT to use HUDs on those other sites and it is very confusing and takes much more attention to play both at the same time. As there really isn't any other site than Unibet (and RAY for us Finnish players, which is quite dead) that actively keeps HUDs away and their MTT program is really, really poor it's really not possible to play only in HUD-free sites.
Sky Poker does a good job of playing without HUDS and keeps players BECAUSE of it.
And I doubt very much 50% of players would leave. Not nearly that many players use huds and of those that do, not all would leave. Anyway, that's a business decision and up to the suits, they have all the data, in the same way I chose to play on sites mainly where players aren't reliant on technology to win.
How **** have we turned poker anyway when we have to only play on sites where we can use loads of technology to help us, in order to play on a site
