It was a risk, but they could have negotiated. The way they described the soft fork is misleading.

Stinc were shitting bricks too and played their card from their big fat wallet.
People are shutting down dapps and stuff and I can't help but see them as bullies that got bullied by a bigger bully.
How can you shut down your dapp because a bigger player came in and ousted you? Isn't this the time to stand up and be counted? Isn't this the time to improve your shit and ensure nobody looks Steemit's way?
Every where I turn it's people saying "goodbye" Steem and all that shit and I find it pathetic. Pathetic because it's Steem blockchain but also a social network; all the friends, connections, communities etc just wiped away because Sun bought a lot of stakes?

The solution is to fork, not shut down DApps.
