In place of the Chromecast, the company will offer the newly announced $99.99 Google TV Streamer,

They're replacing it with a very similar product. Nothing to see here.

A more expensive, clunkier product, with a bunch of needless fluff in it.

You mean twice the ram (1 gig more than the shield), 4 times the storage (32 gigs), and a better remote (chirping find my remote feature, programmable button, and less shitty volume buttons)?

Yep. Sure sounds worse considering it also supports all the same features of the chromecast 4k and AV1 decoding.

None of which changes the fact that it's more expensive and clunkier, and none of which feels necessary.
