    No, how could I try it? it doesn’t exist anymore. Poor tiny little startup Google, bullied by the big bad user mob who paid for the service they sold and actually expected to receive what they had bought.

        I’m not from the USA, how could I possibly have tried it? It died before it could’ve even become a product. Even if they would’ve gone to rural areas or the developing world it would’ve failed because there’s not sturdy enough infrastructure to support the service. And as the experience proved, not even South California has enough infrastructure to support the service without massive lag. I remember reading that even people with Google Fiber had issues. So it was a failed service for a strong technical reason, not just the awful marketing and even worse service offering. Paying a subscription and buying games was the most retarded move Google made at the moment, but they make so many stupid moves so frequently that it’s hard to tell if it was the worst.
