Orbeus is shutting down developer APIs

ReKognition will not longer be offering developer APIs for image and face detection/recognition. Here's the text of the email I got:

"We've worked hard to provide the best face and image recognition products and we greatly appreciate your support along the way. However, recently, our strategic focus has changed and we will no longer be offering the developer API services. Therefore, we regret to inform you that the ReKognition platform will no longer be available after December 2, 2015. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Thank you!

Sincerely, The Orbeus Team"

They don't mention it yet on their website though. Anyone knows why this is happening?
