Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months::Two years on a Pixel Pass was supposed to get you a new phone.
Obligatory https://killedbygoogle.com although I don’t see Pixel Pass listed yet.
My favorite so far was when the rumor about Stadia going away, and I think it was members on the Stadia team posted that the rumors were false. Then like a week or 2 later Google announces Stadia is shutting down.
I always like how they describe how old the product was one when google killed it, almost as if it was a young child’s eulogy.
“Android Auto for Phone Screens was killed. It was almost two years old.”
That sounds like a class action waiting to happen.
while new signups are no longer allowed, existing users will be able to finish out their two-year term.
So existing contracts aren’t affected, they just aren’t renewing them or writing any new ones.
