What was that, 2 years? Bout average by Google standards.

Yeah, it was literally one "cycle", it's right about time for people to start getting trading in their phone and getting the new version that they got the Pass for.

I don't need a new phone every year, but I liked the security of the Pass idea, similar to Apple's plan.

Who knows why Google does these things. I doubt they know.

Frodo would have had a much easier time destroying the One Ring if he'd gone to Google HQ and convinced them to offer Rings of Power as a subscription service

Google kills JFK.

The pricing wasn't bad for what you got, not a bad option if you couldn't buy the device outright.

As a pixel user in rarely play games on phone.

This isn't related to the Google Play Pass, if that's what you're thinking. Pixel Pass was a subscription for the actual hardware, not for apps.

Good catch! I totally was off the mark
