Comment on Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store

  What’s extra funny is that I already did all of this, and yet, I’ve been informed that my developer account is subject to deletion because I’m not active enough. Since my game does not get regular updates, I said F this, let them delete my account. It’s still available for sideload on itch.io anyway. Jokes on me.

  Seems to me like Google is actively hostile towards building a library of software/games that just work and intentionally only wants live service garbage apps on their platform because those make more revenue.

    That’s wild, I made a developer account in like 2010 and released an app and forgot about it. I still get developer emails about my account lol. I never touched it.
