Same here. Total nuke of the project with no warning even though we were an established paying customer, and there was no fraud involved.

The idea that bureaucrats and scientists should be able to decide what experiments a terminally ill patient should be allowed to participate in is a deeply evil one.

If a game has multiple sound effects controlled by javascript logic, then what is the "individual media element"?
