They're not shutting AlienBlue down, but they removed it from the App Store, and they are not updating it anymore.

They can shut it down by changing the reddit API so it no longer works, thus forcing users to switch to the new app.

If they do that, they would break every 3rd party reddit app, which reddit said they wouldn't do. Of course, that doesn't mean their position will change in the future.
