Why would anybody adopt a new Google platform? Very high chance Google will shut it down, I wouldn't bother adopting it because of the heartbreak that will occur in 2-3 years when they discontinue it.

Their reputation for shutting products down is now a barrier to adoption.

I'm currently building a game and using firebase for custom levels. Won't even know what to do if they shut it down, but it wouldn't surprise me too much

They are digging their own grave. I'm sure a good bit of Google's best customers have learned that they can't be trusted. Honestly, it's a shame.
