I find it a bit suspect that the article claims this comes directly from the devs but provides no quotes or links to a statement, but hopefully it's true, and the article is just bad. Seems to be an annoying trend in journalism these days to not link to sources.

The only good new today

This is being reported as a rumour that's been debunked, but I'm doubtful how true that is. Seems quite likely to me they've bowed to pressure.
