    Misleading title. After reading the linked Gitlab discussion it’s more likely a backend change from Google side. Aurora does use burner account but early reports seem to suggest they are not flagged or rate limited.

        Google actively blocking Aurora Store would be much worse than them simply changing their backend. The latter can likely be quickly resolved while the former might lead to a cat and mouse game, where it gets increasingly difficult for Aurora Store to continue to work.

                The thing is, it’s already been answered. The conclusion was made based on reading the gitlab discussion. 🤷‍♂️ I didn’t read that myself but maybe try doing that if you’re curious. 😉🫶

                  The thing is, the conclusion is not going to be in any discussion outside of a Google internal chat or meeting. We know what happened, we don’t know why it happened, or what it means.

                    The thing is, you asked what made them think that, and I told you it was already answered. 👍🦋

                    But I guess you were asking a rhetorical question all along? 🙂

                    Maybe a gorilla in the woods found a Google employees laptop and implemented the change. We will never know unless we go into the jungle.
