Starting a business with the exclusion of a part of your potential customer base was a mistake right from the start. Some people won't play on an anon-site, some won't wanna play without their HUD. Common sense tells to first build a strong foundation before getting fancy. Can't say that i'm happy to see them fail, but also not sad to see, that it doesn't work out. The vision of RIO, what online-poker should be, doesn't line up that much with mine.
