from the article
"Asked why Pronoun was being shuttered 18 months after the acquisition, Seroy said despite Macmillan investment in the platform and “terrific” feedback from Pronoun authors, “we came to the conclusion that there wasn't a path forward to a profitable business model and decided to shut down the platform.”

So, they purchased what for what? An Amazon Smashworlds etc competitor to compete, or something else, for some other reason..?
I suspect there's more info to come on this one.
