Really, rebranding from Chromecast to Google TV Streamer? Who the fuck was the genius that greenlighted this?
Probably the same guy that greenlights unwanted UI changes in all their products.
Of course they are.
Google’s gonna Google
Add another casualty to the list:
“Yes I know the customer learned that product name and has a good connotation with it, but how about we change the name to something completely different?”
“Our current product offering is less than $50. We were thinking the next iteration should be $300”
Literally all my friends know the name “Chromecast”, why would you rename it
“okay, what successful product are we going to kill next?”
In place of the Chromecast, the company will offer the newly announced $99.99 Google TV Streamer,
They’re replacing it with a very similar product. Nothing to see here.
A more expensive, clunkier product, with a bunch of needless fluff in it.
Did y’all even click the article?
It will be rebranded, basically, to become the Google TV streamer. The tech is not going anywhere.
“In place of the Chromecast, the company will offer the newly announced $99.99 Google TV Streamer, which launches on September 24th.”
