The economy and (many) other factors have been hitting GW pretty hard the last couple years. It's not the end of the world for them, but they are trying to keep the number of broken seals below 5. Dropping older lines that aren't moving (and aren't even really supported) to reduce overall costs is just basic business practice. If anything I'm a little surprised it took them this long to cut their losses. Though I suspect that the little sales bump from the fans buying up what they can before it's gone will be carefully applied to the next quarterly report to make it look like a repeatable gain...
