When companies advertise free for life, take it with a grain of salt. If they can't force people into a paid subscription, then they'll simply stop making the device work.

Remember, if Google can cut off support, what makes you think others wouldn't? Remember Stadia?

Customers should agree to nothing less other than getting refunded for their camera setup.

Perhaps Stadia is a bad example, because Pepperidge Farms remembers when Google refunded every purchase when Stadia shut down.

It was, however, surprising they chose to do so.
