If Google wins, it will be a demonstration into how important it is to read terms of service.

I mean what if there was a clause in the original terms of service from all those years ago that said "free forever was not actually forever", and Google chose to stop being free today. What if it was always there and none of us noticed?

Did they advertise it as "free forever" or "free forever*"? Hiding the truth deep in the terms of service yet advertising something different shouldn't be legal.
What if a EULA revision includes terms that indemnify them from all claims resulting from false advertising?
Usually there’s a term that allows for the agreement to be changed.
