You could hear me scream from several blocks away. I’m still crying. 

Epic can still get fucked. Throwing around Fortnite money to make the PC space genuinely worse when it’s finally on the rise after being neglected for multiple console generations is a shit move, and supporting it, as well as Tencent, makes the people defending their practices a part of the problem.

Man you must of either got beaten by a priest or woke up with a ruler up your ass.

Why am I hearing about this on lifehacker and not from google itself?

I think I had the same moment of panic that you did. Thank you for pointing this out. Emily, you do your readers a disservice by misrepresenting the article.

I wonder if she feels ashamed for that article title. Because I do for her.

That’s the clickbaity-est headline that ever clickbaited. The only thing dying is the “Google Drive for PC/Mac” applications — Google Drive (i.e., user file storage in Google’s cloud) will live on. And then there’s this:

This article is beyond misleading.

Holy clickbait batman. I think you need to specify this is about the windows/mac apps and not the drive.google.com.

Worst clickbait title ever.

Yea, and as far as I can tell, only the desktop clients.

What a misleading title.

Wait, WHAT? I’m reading in the comment sthat the Google Drive service will remain - for an article titled “Here’s what you need to know” that’s a pretty huge omission!

yeah this was egregious. It doesn’t even explicitly clarify in the article.

Thank you for clarifying this.

Yes. Misleading article, Drive as a service isn’t going anywhere.

Seriously, this post needs a few edits. The Drive software is leaving, not the service. This article is misleading.

Maybe clarify that this is not actually affecting the Drive cloud service but only the apps labeled Drive on Macs and PCs.

How about instead of deciding you understand what I said, you read it and try to understand, nvm I’ll do it for you.

Yup, driven by the competitive gaming and streaming surge.
