He probably looked at the codebase and decided it wasn’t worth it. Not saying that is a good decision, or a bad codebase. In fact, nowadays, I’d say the opposite. Lol
You think he printed out the code and read it on his private plane? No, I think this is a much more utilitarian decision: Revue wasn't making money, it got cut.
I wouldn't want to look at a printout of Revue's source code either.
