According to that email, the "they" is only one guy left, who is now 73 years old and he cannot afford the servers (apparently costs have doubled in the past year), etc. any more from what "normal" customers pay, so - unless you imply he's lying - it's more desperate than "ballsy".

Also why is this supposed to be a "Nitro Off-Road" specific thread?
