Cute. But in reality they could tell me what I violated in their terms, and take down those specific application(s). Then if there was a trend, they could terminate the account as they normally do. That's the trend. They broke this trend with me by not only removing the apps but following up with no interaction on my part by suspending my Google Checkout (!) and Android Market account for my company and I for life.
Not much of a habit, I had a couple products on there. Only major thing up there was psx4droid. The rest were lil things I did to learn some techniques within psx4droid.
The driving motivation to come to Android was a petition of a few thousand signers asking me to produce exactly what I did.
Also remember Google did not pull my account for the reason of open source software licensing violations. I received a takedown notice from a game company. As did Yong.
So your statements and questions are irrelevant but must be responded to now quite often as it has become accepted among the community.
In short: My product was removed from a takedown from a game company & Google Android partner. My only issue was Google terminating my Google Checkout and Android Market accounts instead of just suspending the individual app(s) like they normally do. This is against Google's traditional ways of doing things on Market.
- TheAmazingIdiot 15y agoIt almost sounds like Google's way of being unreachable, and all mighty. "You, the peasant, are allowed to work in Our field". I do hope you get some sort of answers. I loved the stuff you made, and ended up playing Chrono Trigger with a wiimote on the iphone (and getting crazy looks at that).
- zodttd 15y agoI really don't like the fact there is zero developer support for Market given the fact it's self-regulated. The game company / Google partner could easily contact them to remove my app. Fair enough. But how do I contact a human at Google's Android Market? Haven't figured that out yet.
- TheAmazingIdiot 15y ago"But how do I contact a human at Google..." Full stop. Sorry for being so trite, but you don't. Doesn't matter if you have millions in ad revenue or whatnot. Lack of customer service is one of the biggest reasons from staying away from google offerings.
