None of this passes the smell test to me but this in particular

If Google is telling the truth here I feel like this is worth launching a lawsuit against Roku.
- otterley 5y ago> I feel like this is worth launching a lawsuit against Roku. On what grounds?
- BoysenberryPi 5y agoDefamation. What Roku is alleging is a direct attack on Google's reputation and if Google is telling the truth then it should be easy to verify in communications between Roku and Google.
- coliveira 5y agoThere is a simple way for Google to disprove Roku: just support the device. If they don't do that, everything else is just a smoke screen operation.
- true_religion 5y agoThey don't want to pay Roku money. It wouldn't be natural to demand someone clear their good name by paying money (i.e. 'support' the device) to the person who insulted them. That's akin to blackmail.
- teawrecks 5y agoRoku has a platform. If google wants to be on it, they have to be OK with giving them a cut. Why is that so difficult?
- Jabbles 5y agoI'm sure that will look good from a PR perspective, and help speed up the resolution of this issue. /s
