It's a product that should, and perhaps could in a more bullish market, have grown their subscriber base while adding value to their core product.
Clearly they didn't get the numbers they wanted/needed and if everyone else is cutting right now, this is something that seems reasonable to cut from their expenses.
The concept of the game sounds cool though as a customer of the company itself however I didn't know about it.
Also I wouldn't put it past them to push features of the game directly into the Spotify app in the future. (Maybe they already have, I don't know).
