I had no idea… didn’t that end up being canceled at some point or am I mistaken?

As it is customary, companies drop bomb shells to gauge their user base reaction. They pull back if the reaction is too strong and slowly reintroduce it piece by piece when the things have cooled down a bit.

The moment they announced their intention to DRM the web meant that they will try to push however they can.

With something like that, it's usually just rebranded and pushed out after backlash calms down.
