Is it cold in here?:
This is big news. Conventional wisdom was that Go was going to be too difficult for computers.

They probably didn't think that memories and storage would get as fast as they have. After all, "complexity" is just another way to call "decision tree depth".

From what I have read, Go actually can't be brute-forced, at least not with today's technology.  Much of the advance really is from improvements to learning AI, as well as the ability of a computer to train by playing millions of games in a fairly short period of time.
