How are these things related? I don't see an obvious connection. Is Google afraid they don't dictate the headlines in the next week?

- thatguy0900 6y agoGoogle would probably like to get some press attention with their new android release, not gonna be any to go around for a while
- MattGaiser 6y agoThey are consuming all media space which is not directed to covid. There is just no media room to talk about Google right now.
- capableweb 6y agoIt's the same as when games move their launch dates because other hyped games have a similar launch date, so there is less space for them to actually get any attention. Most recent example would be Factorio moving their launch date as it got to close to Cyberpunk 2077 (https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-349 https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-349), a game people have been waiting forever for. Google wants to make sure when they do their announcements, people have "time and space" in their mind and in the media to actually talk about it, as big releases like this is usually mainly a PR effort.
- 1023bytes 6y agoHonestly I think that's just an excuse. And I don't think Google really cares for media attention about this, it's a pretty boring, minor update, unless they have something else up their sleeve.
- lordnacho 6y agoThe thing is it may be minor in the grand scheme of things, but for some exec at Google it matters a lot. And so if it makes sense to move it, they will.
