Fuck them for these games. It's an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I've tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

well they only said offer a number, they didn't specify it had to lead to a human, Google offers numbers it just goes into automated call center hell unless you are a buisness

I bought a set of pixel phones the other day (for grapheneos)... I COULD reach google store support. Real people. I left the conversation dumber than when I started. I promise you talking to anyone at Google doesn't matter either. Google is just outright not worth it if you need support for anything... period.
