Google Glass was a huge flop and they got off light on that. One of the biggest flops in decades matter of fact when you consider the initial hype.

Given their history, even though it sounds like an infrastructure issue, this is not a good look, especially since the issue was basically Google's fault. The first thing that came to mind was this Ars Technica piece about Google's constant product shutdowns:
Google’s constant product shutdowns are damaging its brand

One possible reason I've seen cited is that it's an internal culture issue, where employees are constantly looking to work on the next big thing vs. supporting an existing product and they're incentivized to work that way. If that's true, they better get a handle on that soon, because going by the comments sections on articles about new Google products and even the comments in this thread, everyday consumers are starting to question whether to bother using their new products because they probably won't support it long enough.

They should start building offices in the cheap middle of nowhere States to have staff maintain their B tier projects. Keep those people away from their main offices and just pay them a salary. I would say outsource but I feel in 20 years outsource computer tech will be looked down upon due to security issues.
