They knew all along, hence the "transition". They were offloading the project to another team.
It's a good sign that they want to keep the project going. So much potential.

Thanks for the explanation of who does what @Brigby. Our of curiosity, who is primarily responsible for the following:
1. The cost of exclusive offers, the bundle contents, size of packs, etc?
2. The drop rates from packs?
3. Size and content of prizes for various events?
4. Schedule of events?
My assumption is D3 is responsible for all of these items. Which is why there seems to be a disconnect with the developers and the "distributors". It has never made sense to me that JC would create synergistic masterpeices if he was aware that it was the next thing to impossible to actually collect the set (e.g. greaves, gauntlets, helm). Hopefully, with the new team there will be either a change in strategy from D3, or more clear communication between the availability of cards for players to collect.
