I heard rumours about companies being able to subscribe again last year if they really wanted to, but apparently the cost for maintaining the servers jumped ridiculously high that no company in their right mind would want to, so the servers are closing. But that's all hearsay.

That's what I heard too. It's possible to continue the service, it just wasn't practical at all to do so.
