My blender manufacturer has retroactively revoked my ability to make smoothies, and my auto manufacturer says I am no longer able to transport groceries.
To expect a very specific app to be available forever is insane. Let's be real here. Google has 3 apps that essentially deliver similar content - just from different sources. They want to manage 1 app and use 1 IP for branding. You are going to sue them for merging their services and branding, and then telling you to install the new app for those services??? Same provider and same content, just 2 less apps that they wanted to manage for the same content delivery.
Are you talking in retrospect as if they can see the future? Apps evolve over time and business decisions change.
You post as if Youtube always had the ability to rent movies and tv shows. It didn't. They probably saw that people were uploading and searching for them on their platform, and google thought it would be a good decision to sell them there too. Premium content wasn't always on Youtube. They were added to evolve the services. Google Play Movies make no sense, since google is maintaining 2 feature apps that are already media hubs, depending on your phone's OS or google product.
Do you think they are depreciating it because they hate their customers???

This. It was sold with that capability clearly advertised on the actual box. Implied that it would be for the functional life of the product.
Class action waiting to happen. And hopefully this will sort out anyone else trying the same shit.
