That’s a pretty uncharitable take. Given the scale of their recent launches and amount of compute to make them work, it seems incredibly smooth. Edge cases always arise, and all the company/teams can really do is be responsive - which is exactly why I see happening.

A company with a literal embedded payment processor, including subscription services for half of all mobile users can't manage to take payments for their own public facing services seems like a huge fucking failure to me.

Especially for software developer and tech influencer focused markets.

It’s a sign that getting the product out took priority over getting paid for it.

Take that how you will.

Why should the scale of their recent launches be a given? Who is requiring this release schedule?

We're talking about Google right? You think they need a level of charity for a launch? I've read it all at this point.
