> I mean come on - the upsides: we "merged cultures", "our app lives on", "careers have bloomed" versus downsides "we quit", and "we don't think we actually delivered what we wanted to". But it's ok because after everyone who cared about the product quit, maybe someone else will might make it happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Do we ignore the most obvious upside, that this guy (and possibly/probably everyone in that startup) got paid a shit ton of money as a result of Google buying the company?

  If you don't want to face the possibility of your product being shut down don't sell it to Google of all companies. Really, don't sell it to any megacorp, but they had to know Google's rep before they agreed to the deal.
