Why wouldn't they? The networks aren't merging. BWIN is possibly (most likely) selling Ongame network and moving with PartyPoker, but other Ongame skins aren't moving.
But really high percentage of Ongame players are from BWIN (I heard it was over 50%, but that was before Betfair joined Ongame if I remember correctly) so if/when BWIN leaves it could severely affect the amount of games running at Ongame.
BWIN also is the biggest advertising skin on Ongame network (eg. huge sponsorship deals with Real Madrid and FC Bayern Munich) and they don't offer as good bonus programs than other skins, so their fish:regs ratio is probably much higher. So it could also have a notable effect on softness of the games if they leave.
