But i like my sonos products and want them to work for more than another few weeks... and theres no sonos chat app so why would they want sonos really?

It’s me cynically suggesting that they’ll do that just to get rid of this annoyance. That’s what Facebook and many other big companies would do. I don’t know if Google has done in the past but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Yes, i was just making a joke about how google kills things.

I feel like this is pretty common across industries, idk why FB gets called out?

I can't remember anything they bought after losing a suit, but they did this with Moto, and i think also Kodak.

"theres no sonos chat app" ... yet.

Something something sonos old gen products being bricked...

It was a bad move on their part, but fwiw they walked that plan back, and it was opt-in from the start.
