Well, I doubt this type of situation has anything to do with any of the changes in Pokerstars at all. This was a somewhat strange case where a person dumbed it up (ie: not on purpose with a VPN like most of these threads where people still claim to be innocent lambs) playing in the US, and had a disproportionate amount in his cashier compared to the games he played.
Their default following of their terms certainly seemed harsh in this situation, for if the dude had 53 bucks in his account than taking that and allowing him to keep the account would probably be happily accepted by the player and most posters here as fair.
I appreciate that people are upset about the announced changes, and I am sure DoN players would have loved similar general outrage when they removed those games at the time, but this situation does not seem to really link to any of the changes in management.
Also, I highly doubt Spin and Gos were developed under the Amaya watch. Those were likely in development for a long time and were coming regardless of any sale of Pokerstars, so they were pretty much part of the Pokerstars of yore.
