That's great news. I was going to cancel my subscription because of the export restrictions.
Also, note, everyone assumed it was going to be limited to citizens, but that's not what the government said. They put it under ITAR/EAR's US person definition which includes citizens, permanent residents, refugees and asylees. Basically only visa holders in the US were banned, and of course, people in foreign countries.

contrary to some people's intuitions, most people have never lived in or been to the united states.
... did you think that's what I was implying? I'm not even American my guy. I was adding clarification because the commenter I responded to claimed they had to be a US citizen to ride.
I am one of the banned foreigners.
