Google kills off Poly, its 3D model sharing service

We love that first line, Engadget!

Google is showing again that you rely on its products at your peril. The search giant announced that it’s shutting down Poly, its 3D object library and platform that arrived in 2017 aimed primarily and VR and AR creators. The service will end on June 30, 2021, so you’ll need to go here to download any models before then. All uploads will cease on April 30, 2021.

Emphasis is ours.

Once again, the moral of the story: don’t use Google products. Either your privacy will suffer, because the taking of your data is the business model, or the product will not continue to be supported because it does not feed the needs of the beast.
