    Micron says its decision to shut down Crucial is meant to “help” consumers.

    During an interview with Wccftech, Micron VP of marketing Christopher Moore says the company is still serving consumers “through different channels,” such as focusing on supplying DRAM modules to device manufacturers like Dell and Asus:

    Our viewpoint is that we are trying to help consumers around the world. We’re just doing it through different channels. We still have a very sizable business in the client and mobile markets... I think it’s really important for people to understand we are still servicing the consumer market.
