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.

          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

          that’s okay! there are other great alternatives: the folks over at selfhosted@lemmy.world generally agree that porkbun is excellent (and i’d agree with them)

            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

        288 services dead

        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.

          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.

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