I mean pokerstars.eu would be a different company right and untouchable by those maniacs - right?
I doubt that was the main reason. The main reason is tax legislation in some european countries (mostly Finland and Sweden), now winnings from PS will be taxfree, just like most euro sites have always been. Most finnish and swedish poker players have avoided playing on PS before for this very reason and online poker is very popular here, they'll get a lot of new customers with this change.
Also with tightening online gambling regulation in many EU countries, sites with EU licenses are less likely to be banned/blocked.
