I don't know why they didn't replace begin replacing mods as previous ones left, tbqh. people crit the modteam on this last hmd and I agree, instead of trying to divvy-up the remaining jobs between the existing team, they should have taken on new hands. if they'd done that, maybe the current team wouldn't have burnt out/would have been able to leave and been replaced one at a time instead of the game suddenly closing like this. poor decisions all around.
