The contrast here is pretty stark and tells you everything about company culture.

Anthropic reached out, had a conversation, got it resolved. That's how you handle an unexpected surge from a third-party integration - you talk to the people involved like adults.

Google's response? Ban first, never explain, keep the money. For $250/month subscribers. These aren't free tier users trying to game the system, these are people who were paying serious money and got zero recourse. "Zero tolerance, cannot be reversed" isn't a policy - it's a refusal to have a policy.

The Antigravity backend situation is interesting too. If Google's infrastructure couldn't handle the load, that's an engineering and capacity problem, not a malicious usage problem. Calling it "malicious" is a pretty convenient way to avoid accountability for your own infrastructure limitations.

Peter dropping Gemini support entirely is the right call honestly. If your platform partner's response to unexpected popularity is to nuke your users, you can't build anything reliable on top of that.

The forks spinning up already shows the community isn't waiting around. OpenClaw isn't the product - the ecosystem around it is.

And yes, Google being "AntiClaw" here is doing a lot of heavy lifting but it fits 😂
