“We must ship what we said we would” means they’re not backing down on their pricing out of 3PA and they’ll put together some half baked mod tools held together with duct tape and a dream to placate the people they replace the mods who leave with.
Maybe some great mods will stay, maybe they’ll leave and be replaced, but bad tools will mean more low end content / trolls / harassment / etc and the place will eventually feel less like someone would want to go.
