Firing the sales team = less income = some higher up will see declining profits = it will be killed

        Damn, I missed the news about Google domains. That sucks. Squarespace domain pricing is typically pretty high.

          that’s okay! there are other great alternatives: the folks over at [email protected] generally agree that porkbun is excellent (and i’d agree with them)

          Yeah it’s super frustrating too because google was one of the few places that you could get a .dev domain, and square space isn’t exactly the most logical place for a developer’s sight

            Of course, because the .dev domain was directly created and operated by them, like .zip and .mov

            Anyone selling a .dev domain was just reselling from Google domains under a white label agreement

          Wait are we sure about Google domains? I literally just saw an ad for it yesterday.

                My understanding is they’re still around for a few months while they work out transferring everything. They’re probably trying to squeeze as much out of it they can.

            Marketing team didn’t was aware yet or forgot to turn off the campaign when reassigned

            For stadia, a game dev said that they were shocked by reading the announcement on Twitter, as they spoke with some stadia engineer about their game port to stadia only three hours earlier

            Looks like when Google decides to kill a product, only a few managers know it

          Yeah, I had a domain through Google Domains that I just moved to Porkbun based on this news. Sucks, but Porkbun is cheaper anyway.

          I bought a domain from them right before the announcement, should’ve gone cloudflare

        Pretty sure if this was any other industry there would be a lot of shit thrown, but because its Google they somehow get away with it.

        Wait, why the fuck would they kill off Google Domains? It’s incredibly competitive when you compare it to Namecheap and Porkbun imo.

      Why are they doing this. Waze was such an amazing tool

        They’ve integrated what they want into Maps navigation. Now they want you to switch and be happy about it.

          No they didn’t. They show traffic info from Waze in Google Maps, but the navigation is still the old one, not the Waze one.

        Title is clickbait, they are laying off the ads department and using Google’s.

          I dunno, google has a long history of buying competitors then shutting them down, we are all just anticipating it this time.

      Google maps is pretty damn good though - but I do like Waze for road trips
