    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.”

      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.
