PokerStars to remove heads-up cash games

[TightEnd]

"    We are writing to inform you that as of Friday 12th February No Limit Hold'em, Fixed Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha Heads-Up regular tables will be removed and will be replaced with Zoom pools.

    Heads-Up Zoom is already in place at most stakes and will be added at $50/$100. We will also be adding Zoom No Limit Hold'em Cap games at stakes up to $25/$50.

    This change is part of our commitment to reducing predatory behaviour and improving the recreational player experience"

Hoohah? 2+2? About something pokerstars have done?

I saw what looks like a copy/pasted e-mail - They didn't send to everyone, just players who are likely to be affected by it.
