- paxys 5y agoGoogle didn't "damage" anyone by choosing to upgrade their OS. Lenovo was the one who made a promise at the time of the device sale, and now they are no longer abiding by it. Of course software features are taken away all the time, so that probably won't fly either.

- InitialLastName 5y agoYou're getting downvoted because you turned aggressive, but you're also not looking at this in quite the way that the legal system might. When Lenovo sold a product that (presumably) depended on a service they had under contract (even if just a EULA) with Google, they made a promise of continued functionality to the user. Google changed the service, causing damages to the user, yes, but as Lenovo is the mediator of the exchange, the user sues Lenovo (for selling a device that stopped functioning) and then Lenovo sues Google (for the damages of them getting sued.
