That comes from a company which shut down an entire device series 
(harmony) without having any real alternatives in the market, not 
releasing the IR codes for the future to pick up not because it was 
bleeding money, but because they had a monopoly but it did not generate 
enough money for them!

No they did not sell off the division they simply closed the entire 
product line. The cloud, however still is working so at least thats a 
last nice move, but if they would have closed it down their customers 
probably would have sued them into oblivion!
