I've been a defender of GCP in the past, and I've been quick to point out that while Google has a reputation for killing products, GCP has been fairly stable. This, however, changes my opinion. I've been successfully using Cloud IoT for a few years. Now I need to find an alternative. There's a vendor named ClearBlade that announced today a direct migration path, but at this point I'd rather roll my own.

I play Stadia. Couples of weeks ago, ToS change. Couple of days ago, an ad on my LG TV that if i sign up for Stadia i get 3 months free, and the Stadia app is very prominently shown in the Applications menu. Same on my ISP's Android TV box. Each month ~10 games get added to the Stadia Pro tier. Stadia isn't going anywhere soon, or the people working in the division haven't been told and have continued spending money…
'Stadia isn't going anywhere soon, or the people working in the division haven't been told and have continued spending money left and right with partnership deals, which would be a weird waste of money.' LOL, that is Google 101. Allow me to introduce you to the Google Graveyard[1] [1] https://killedbygoogle.com/

Very few, if any, of those killed by Google things, are products one paid for, let alone had paid partnerships with third parties. The situation really isn't comparable.
I'd think IoT-related services ( especially an entire gateway) would have years-long deprecation schedules, not a single year. If you coupled your product to cloud-based updates only (no companion app stuff), then this means your unsold inventory right now has a timer to be sold until it's dead and requires shipping back for manual updating.

They just killed IoT Core.
Also not just killing but making worse like the Nvidia Shield.
How are there still googlw apologists?
3 years ago Google killed off Android Things[1] and told everyone to migrate to IoT Core. Now IoT Core is dead. But don't worry about all that, just connect with your Google Cloud account manager! They'll tell you exactly which Google platform you should migrate to next. [1]: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/02/an-update-...
This reminds me of a David Letterman skit where Letterman was working at a Taco Bell drivethru. He told a customer that they were out of several drinks in a row and then said something like “ma’am, I need to know what drink you want so that I can tell you we’re out of it” in response to the lady asking what drinks did they have.

Well said, I had no words- this is literally a thread about them doing just that. Also not just killing but making worse like the Nvidia Shield. How are there still googlw apologists?
Not to make more generalizations, but I think you'll find that people that like Stadia like it because they actually like the Stadia product (surprise!) -- and people that hate on Stadia often do so because they have other issues with the company behind it.
Sure, Google might shut down Stadia someday. That'd be unfortunate but not too unexpected. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure enjoying a product that's been around for years and shows no indication that it'll go away any time soon doesn't make you an apologist for the megacorp behind that product.

Interestingly enough, if you look at threads like this, the comments almost always boil down to "pro-Stadia" versus "anti-Google" sentiments.

I'm sure one could be pro stadia/cloud gaming and still be cognizant of the garbage google pulls.
I am glad you are enjoying stadia, and I truly hope it'll be one of the services that survive, maybe it'll improve cloud gaming issues to the point I'd be on board.
But the op was in here touting google rarely closes paid offerings, ignoring they dont have many paid offerings and those are every bit at risk of being 'googled' like all their other services.
Google's own track record is every reason for me to put zero trust in them.
