Maintenance, sure, but adding or replacing disk every year or two is not a big deal, and in twenty years or running my private streaming server I have had zero data loss.

It's worth noting that his last job also had him overseeing a short story magazine (Assemble Artifacts) so this isn't out of left field.
Always a bit stressful when several institutions within a beloved genre changed hands, but so far doesn't seem to be anything like PE trying to wring them dry.

From the LinkedIn it appears he left his position at the production company, so screen adaptation isn't necessary a component of the new venture. On the other hand, it may well be that they plan on making that a component of the new venture. I imagine that is something that might interest authors.

Oh, and if the report they're buying "Fantasy & Science Fiction" as well, sounds like a life line.
They were supposed to be switching from a bimonthly schedule to quarterly but only published two issues last year and none this year.

I'm provisionally willing to entertain that the new company is a passion project.

I'm guessing they're focusing on US sales for the time being. There were 43,762 Prologues produced through November, which doesn't leave a lot after the 33,017 sold through Q4 and the ~ 6k in dealer inventories this side of the border.
They're still producing, but at a rate of ~ 5k/mo.

A decade of market dominance doesn't evaporate overnight, of course, but they do seem to be struggling to even maintain sales in spite of market growth. They fell to fourth in iZEV rebate claims in October, behind GM, Hyundai and Toyota.
This coming year promises to be a wild ride.

Ah, yeah, no idea what Honda sales are like in Canada. They don't appear to publish monthly numbers like they do for the US.
Sales of the Equinox EV are crazy on that side of the border though. If the estimates I've seen of Tesla sales are correct, GM has dethroned the Model Y for the #1 EV crown.

Eh? Honda has been incredibly aggressive with their Prologue sales. There was a promotion over labor day where you could get one cheaper than a Civic.

The Prologue sales last quarter (18,838) only slightly outpaced the Equinox EV (18,089) in the United States, and the Equinox EV sold another 10,207 units in Canada.
Merits of CP/AA aside, GM is having little trouble moving inventory.
