No matter what people think about the products Google has built, they absolutely did handled the subscription, grandfathering and later deprecation of Google Play Music to Youtube Music, and Youtube -> Youtube Red -> Youtube Premium. A subscriber may have lost features, but they definitely did not get upcharged as part of a transition, and only later did Google start raising rates -- separate from forced functional subscription changes.
- neogodless 3y agoYeah - Google Stadia was actually kind of nice deal for the people that jumped in early.
- silisili 3y agoAbsolutely. I'm still mad about going from Play Music to Youtube Music, but I didn't feel cheated. I was also a Stadia subscriber, and while they probably legally didn't have to, they refunded every single penny I spent on games and hardware.
- ajdude 3y agoIt's not just Google either, every single pay subscription service I've ever had only altered the price for me on my renewal date (and I've often had year-long or higher subscriptions). Amazon seems to be an outlier.
