Central Innovation/Cadimage site removed AC and CITools

Has anyone else noticed that the CI site has been scrubbed of all things Cadimage/CITools and Archicad? You can get to the CITools website via some specific search engine queries, but nothing on the main site?

I work in custom residential and the "good enough" of AC's cabinets have me at my wits end so I figured we should go back to the CI tools for cabinets and windows. It looks like these are no longer available as clicking on the "Online Store" takes you to a place where they are not available.

I know GS purchased CI, does this mean these tools will be rolled into future AC versions? or at least used to improve some of GS existing tools? @Patrick M are you hearing anything?

I think you have to log in here https://myci.centralinnovation.com/buy

to buy. It seems there is no change for subscribers.

FYI

The Media releases

"Central Innovation today confirmed it has entered into an agreement with Graphisoft SE to sell its AEC businesses. Graphisoft Australia and Central Innovation NZ Limited are the exclusive distribution partners of Graphisoft BIM products across ANZ."

P.S.

"Central Innovation NZ Limited" was the New Zealand company called "Cadimage" before the Australian company "Central Innovation" bought it in 2016, and the original creators of "Cadimage Tools", now rebranded "CI Tools". The old users thought it was just a contraction of "Cad Image", and the new users thought it stood for "Central Innovation".
