To be fair, people started leaving last year when the leadership change was first announced internally.

Don't know if they lost anything at all to GitHub (yet).

But let's see how Entropic and GH package registries turn out.

They sell “organizations” for $7/month which gives you private packages, and also https://www.npmjs.com/products/enterprise

I always assumed their business model was "Stay afloat till $BIG_CORP acquires us".

I think that is still the business model. The $7 /mo for enterprise is the "Stay Afloat until..." part of that business model

It's obvious to me that Microsoft will end up buying NPM Inc.

Why? They already own Github which is about to reduce NPM to “feature, not product” status

Why did Facebook buy WhatsApp, or Oracle buy Peoplesoft?

Typically: to enhance their offerings, remove a competitor, or shut it down.
