The future of Merge Network skin Hero Poker remains in limbo Thursday after changes to its website and forum statements by its CEO seem to confirm its pending departure from Merge.

The ability to download the Hero Poker client has been removed for its web site, but whether Hero Poker will close or migrate to a new network remains in doubt.

Hero Poker CEO David Jung broke a couple weeks of silence with a brief message on 2+2.

“I know there is a lot of speculation out there, I’m not on any gag order of sorts, but I’m just waiting on some final confirmation to some details, but I will be posting as soon as I get such confirmations,” posted Jung.

“Just know that my priority is our players first and the lack of communication on my part, is more towards ensuring and confirming details that do benefit the players first,” he added.
