That's just not true. Companies cancel things all the time. Obviously these weren't exactly selling well -- what else is a company supposed to do?
The fact that literally no other company has the reputation for cancelling things that Google has, should tell you that their reputation is something very specific to Google, for whatever reason.
That's the whole fucking problem! People buy computers but cannot change the software running on them.
This is a cloud connected device so it seems like an entirely fair outcome.
If they didn't refund customers then I would be complaining too, but that's simply not the case here.
Given how niche of a product this was I'm not sure people are going to be really upset at this ...
That's without going into any hassle associated with replacing it's use.
I'm not saying that people would be justified in being really upset but I'd certainly understand why they would be (especially for a niche product because that means it's harder or more expensive to replace)
