I tried to add more product names but Bing couldn’t handle so many product names that Google has killed.
I am a victim of Google Reader, Google One VPN, Google Podcast, Picasa, Google Play Music, Google for Domains, Stadia.

Can’t believe they killed Google Glogle
it was my flavorite
Glogler gang!

Inbox was superior in every way, that’s what did it for me. I also remember the good old days of iGoogle, a page that could be customized with widgets, and Schemer where users could set challenges and goals for other users.
It makes no sense at all why they killed iGoogle. It was the best place for an ad company to show ads.
Oh man, Picasa was great. Remember when Google photos actually talked to Google drive?Will never forgive them for building a wall between those.
Yeah. After so many years, Google Photo still doesn’t provide some key features that Picasa used to have.
Let’s take bets on gmail, or at least free gmail.
No way they’d kill the free tier of gmail, it’s their biggest data harvester
Unless they got a better one.
Android? But iPhone users use gmail too, so close call
Any Google product harvests your data. Leave google.
They should kill Google Google
You know it would just become meta search engine.
RIP Picasa. It was so good!
And also the RSS feed on the desktop was nice while it lasted. Looking back, it was hideous but I loved it.
Unexpected halloween out of season. I dig it.

“The community loves this feature, let’s kill it”
- Sundar Pichai, probably
Can you monetize it? No? Kill it.
Stadia lives in my heart. I still have the app installed.
Stadia was severely underrated and misunderstood, and Google was to blame.
It was a great solution for me who didn’t want to purchase a game console but wanted to play games occasionally.
Yeah, and I can’t speak for everyone here, but I didn’t even bother trying it even though I was intrigued. It seemed like the kind of thing that could be completely game-changing and I wasn’t willing to get hooked on another Googler’s pet project that’d just get the axe in a few years. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy at this point, nothing new is likely to get any traction because no one wants to run the risk and then Google cancels it. If they were willing to put in writing that they’ll support something for x number of years (that’s end user facing, not just whatever contracts they make with devs or whatever), it’d probably go a long way, but they’re not willing to support an expensive flop if the product is what actually sucks, so, they’re not likely to do that.
Hell, even anything older still runs the risk at any time :-\
Xbox gamepass does the same thing. You can play tons of xbox games in any web browser. No xbox hardware needed
Xbox Game Pass rotates games all the time. That means if I want to play a 50-hour RPG, I might have to finish the game before it gets rotated out. And Xbox doesn’t make the schedule available.
With Stadia I could purchase games and play it at my own pace, even without a subscription.
Can I Buy The Game I Play on Game Pass?
Yes, you can purchase any game available on Game Pass, which is then permanently saved to your Microsoft account as a digital game.
Though i don’t know if this means you have to pay the subscription to play it or not
AFAIK, you can purchase the games but the purchased games are only playable via Xbox/Windows.
Xcloud is limited to the games available via subscription. Unless they changed this recently.
Official Xbox FAQ says:
The games available to play with cloud gaming vary based on platform and region. You can find the latest selection of titles available for cloud gaming here: Xbox Game Pass Games Library
That means only games in the Game Pass library is playable via cloud.
Google Search is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet.
