It's already done
Won't Chromecast still exist as a service? Just because they aren't making the dongle doesn't mean all the Chromecast enabled devices are just going to stop working or even being made. Just about every display that's made has Chromecast built in now.

On another news "Why is everyone hating google now?" lol
Family practically thought I was David Blaine when I got a first gen Chromecast back in the day.
Uggggggghhhhhh another one for the pile. I love Chromecasts but to be fair the latest one with Google TV was a sign that things were getting shitty soon. 22% more CPU for a YouTube machine? Who cares? A home hub that needs my TV to work? Who cares? It's like the tech industry regrets putting everything on your phone and now they want to separate it out again. Fuck off.

Will existing devices continue to work "forever" or must we add them to the graveyard?

Urgh.. We own three of these devices and this news really sucks because a set-top box isn't convenient for two of those TVs.

I know haha google graveyard funny, but over a decade of production only to be replaced by a similar product is a financial success.

Hopefully people will reverse engineer the firmware and protocol so that the old devices aren't total landfill.
Google have lost their mind...

I'm actually upset you can't use Nest Audio speakers as audio out. Apple TV lets you do it with home pods, Google said they were working on it, guess they were too busy adding AI garbo to the new device.
any product made by or linked to google is a no buy. I basically dont buy anything these days. fuck that company!
Google is just doing Google things. It seems that over the years, Google has been doing things to destroy whatever is left of their reputation.
I look at Android for example. Even though I still use Android, I used to look forward to the next Android update. Not anymore!
I guess onn is going to completely take over the low price streaming box market then.
