I've seen this before, on PokerStars back when Americans could play. They started out with the basic 9-player NLHE SNGs with 10 minute blinds, but it grew from there. SNGs with anywhere from 6 up to 360 players, turbos and hyperturbos, double or nothings--all kinds of types, sizes, speeds and variants. It got to the point where players who made a living from the standard SNGs were complaining that there were often not enough players to get one started.
Poker players love to chase after the shiny new object and the sites are happy to dangle it in front of them, which often doesn't turn out well for those playing the foundational games. Even with a large player pool like the one PokerStars had, you can only cut it into so many pieces before the whole things starts to fall apart.
