Nah. Google is the EA of tech companies, the chances they pull the plug on this one after no more than a few years is extremely high.

Nobody knows how willing a company is to operate with loss until they earn the market or give up. Spotify has been running with losses since launch and just now they are getting close to break even, after acheiving 108+ million paying users.

Amazon online sales operate at loss, it is the other Bezos businesses like the the cloud computing (AWS) which makes the money that offset the losses he takes with Amazon, with the single objective to kill the competition in online and retail sales.

Maybe Google is willing to run a decade long loss, offset by the money they make on their other branches in order to aim for market dominance.
