That's what happens when you don't have to play by the rules of reality. Googles monopoly allows them to act like this. It's unfair and generally bad for everyone involved. Thankfully it seems that that era is finally going to end


> It's unfair and generally bad for everyone involved.

The solution is simple - don't hop on Google's new products (there's a risk with the older ones as well, albeit smaller). It's just not worth it to invest your money and time with such a significant risk of it getting killed (and its general half-assedness). There are usually alternatives.


Sorry, what? Depreciating a product has never been illegal in America. Consumer protections are an afterthought, and that applies to Google as much as it applies to Apple and Microsoft. You aren't owed shit.

The rules of reality are written the moment you click "agree" on the EULA. Like the other comment says; the only way to win is to refuse buying things you don't own. Otherwise you're just a sucker who has a hard time living down their mistakes.
