CECash are contributing to the IMPA, which is more than can be said for a bunch of the people who keep putting shit on them. Think about it. If i'm a CECash affiliate, and they hadn't signed the agreement, and the IMPA fail, CECash are gonna be out several millions of dollars. Who's gonna pay for that? It's gonna hurt CECash and CECash's affiliates.
What CE has done is hedged their bets. Personally, a smart move for them, I just don't want them bragging about helping the industry though.

They should brag about saving money and protecting their company, but not about doing anything for the industry (even if they contributed to the IMPA).

Hell, if I was in CE's position, I'd have probably done the same thing, but I wouldn't act like I was the industry savior.......
