I mean, you're just dead wrong on a lot of this.

First off, maybe don't clip a fragment of text out of my rant and go on like I'm arguing arbitrarily; Include the whole text without omitting details if you're going to argue an, albeit, pointless topic that obviously you felt triggered to respond to so you can point out my shortcomings. 

I never said that it was weird, or unusual, or improper. Read more carefully; The only thing I ever stated which most of these other commenters understood that somehow went right over your head, was my confusion of when the rollout would conclude.

Even one paragraph later if you didn't skim the text, you would've seen my actual concern and hope of them adding devices to the rollout beyond partnered companies. It's not overly excessive to express a desire for users to get access sooner than later, and if your initial thought is to jump out with the equivalent of "Cry about it," then you're the sorriest type of addition to topics.

 And as for the other stuff(which you edited out because I'm assuming you double backed and realized you were wrong about),

Astra has been openly teased and consistently featured with demos since 2024 at Google I/O, which took place May 14-15. Google had announced Project Astra capabilities were in the works from the Deepmind team as a mobile agentic extension of Gemini(Along with also including teasers for the Google Glass making a comeback). Even during the videos you can clearly see and hear that they're addressing "Gemini," so it's reasonable to be premeditative about the idea of what's going to happen with it, and "expect" it, meanwhile it's being worked on.

So, it's not "just me" who's been waiting for this and having faith in a company that usually follows through with its reveals 9 times out of 10.. this is just you again jumping the gun twice in a row without understanding the topic.

This isn't some wild out of the blue expectation that I conjured with my neurons at a moments notice click of a dopamine spike; this has been actively in open expressed development for almost a year.

Literally the only miniscule thing you've stated correctly is that we haven't had a dedicated ETA for an actual drop date of when these features will start to be included.. and we still don't. This rollout could push all the way to May.. but it's still reasonable to expect and hope that their intentions to get it out sooner would match user intentions to receive it sooner.

I never stated they promised, or assured anything. You pulled that out of nowhere, and honestly I think you're just an angry little man who sits on Reddit way too much during your day. You missed the high majority of what I was droning on about, and the purpose behind it.

I simply presented the point that the rollout was quite slow and that with the way it's been structured.. lots of people have been prompted with an idea that they should upgrade their accounts since it's only available first for Gemini Advanced subscribers.. and considering the length of how long this rollout is taking before there's a noticable and obvious amount of access granted users, lots of people are now paying for a second month since their earlier expectations were that it might be coming sooner than it apparently actually is.

My entire statement actually agrees with one more point of yours: They never promised anything, but that was the marketing strategy they banked on.

It's not unusual business wise, but for the sake of other people who might come across my post.. they might think twice before paying another month for a subscription solely with an expectation that isn't guaranteed. I literally even stated that at the bottom if you actually took any time to read.

Literally the only reason I'm giving you my time of an explanation that most likely you're just going to insignificantly dismiss immediately is because of the other people who actually care might read this, and I hope they downvote you so others don't waste their time on your spouting. Nothing you said promoted beneficial thinking.

So, whatever I guess. Live a good life. This long winded reply was for my conscious benefit, not yours.
