I have the highest-end version of the nVidia Shield on my bedroom TV and I bought one for my parent's RV and their apartment, because it was a simple and straightforward device to use streaming services which was more privacy respecting than a smart TV. With this change, I've had my parents return the one I just recently got for their apartment and I've bought them an Apple TV instead. There is no excuse for this, and the fact nVidia allowed this Google-originating change to be pushed without any concept of Product ownership or focus on the experience tells me that nVidia doesn't care about the Shield brand and it's not even worth trying to keep these around. They'll be slowly phased out in every use case I've recommended them to numerous people by Apple TVs or other devices which respect their users. Good UX is not a choice, it is mandatory when you design and curate a product, and users will walk away if you screw it up. Showing ads to me on something I paid for with a silent update is atrocious and unethical.
