Doesn't matter about the particular method of weaselling. As Pebble is ceasing to exist after Fitbit gave them the cash they've effectively bought the company. "We just bought some software" is just an effort -albeit quite a good one- to repaint the facts in more favourable terms. Fitbit are nevertheless a party to -and the enforcers of- leaving two million people hanging out to dry. Quite possibly some blame can be directed at Pebble; but there is no longer a company to do business with (or not).
Might be good enough to get them out of a class-action; but not good enough to get them off my shitlist.
