    This is why users don’t invest in the google ecosystem. No consistency or follow through.

      It’s just a running joke at this point. If it doesn’t sell as many ads as Search, YouTube and GMail, they’ll kill it. Even if you’re paying them for it.

      They can’t just have a little service that makes them a little bit of money. They have to have the top service that makes the most money.

      This is exactly why Stadia failed. I honestly think if it was a service like Gamepass Ultimate where the games come with the sub, it would’ve been a success. Spending $60 on a game I can only play via Google’s service though? Fuck no. Never. Not in a million years.

      What do you mean “ecosystem”? Are you unable to understand the idea of making products you can opt into and out of? Just because apple tries with every move to keep you dependent on them for all your devices, doesn’t mean everyone else aims to do the same.
