More likely they don't want it to compete with SWTOR. The world isn't big enough for two SWTOR.

While I think that episode overall is merely great, not brilliant, it's that final scene that you posted the start to that makes this one of my favorite episodes. The whole thing with Fry having the final cup of coffee is hilarious.
