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.

Switch to cloudflare, they recently started with domains

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

Wild they are still running ads

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sold to Squarespace for some reason.

There's probably some scummy reason for it, we just don't know why.
