I find the inability to transfer my paid Android apps and Youtube purchases to a free Gmail account quite egregious. GSuite already had lesser consumer functionality than regular Gmail accounts, at least let us transfer over our purchases.


It is quite egregious that purchases in app stores cannot be migrated but as far as FAQ states, you don't lose access to that Google account and as such you don't lose access to the purchased content. You just lose access to the email and productivity suite. Think of the scenario where you sign up to a Google account using a Hotmail account: you can make Google apps/content purchases in that account


The FAQ didn't say that when the news first came out; it must have been updated due to backlash.

As a side note, I still haven't gotten an email notification of this days later. If it wasn't for HN I wouldn't have known Google was cancelling legacy G Suite at all.
