What Hacker News says

3 seems to be a bit wrong based on Laurence's post on github https://github.com/google/project-gameface/issues/1#issuecom... So why didn't you help and why did you ghost me when I asked? << As I explained at the time, my team isn't set up to help individuals in the way that you asked. I brought your case before those that can within Google, and left it to them to reach out to you. Indeed, you mentioned (in your first post in this thread) that they already gave you a computer -- I am not sure when that happened, but those are the folks that do that kind of payment/donation, and not my team. I asked you, at the time, if you had a charity or other organization that you work with, because that would be the only way we would be able to do anything, and maybe not even then, and the answer was 'no'. That's where the conversation ended.

It's interesting how even before this has taken hold on HN the repo was already basically dead https://github.com/google/project-gameface/pull/31#issuecomm... More interesting is not having the "This is not an official Google project so not supported" disclaimer so many repos in their org has. Shady origins, shoddy maintenance, but the incident will be forgotten as is usually the case. The reality is Google still has huge mindshare and respect among engineers and will likely be immune to damage in these situations.
