Precisely. Although it wasn't only Market Samurai, it also affected SEO Powersuite and some other similar tools.
This is the issue with user gathered data, you are always reliant on the source of the data not changing the rules on how much or the quality of data you can receive.
If Google decided tomorrow to shut off 3rd party usage of it's data then every tool would be dead in the water, if Google further restricts it but does not shut it off then tools relying on user gathered data will be affected.
