But what happens if someone complains about my extension and Google decides to pull it from the store?
- Kerrick 14y agoIt happened to me. I am the developer of a joke extension [1] that got reported for abuse one too many times, and Google took my developer account off the Web Store, then they sent me an email about it [2], stating that it was breaking a policy that it simply wasn't. I replied to them explaining the situation [3], and they reinstated my developer account (and that extension) within 4 days [4]. Still, if they had "carefully reviewed" my case and decided against me, I may have had my primary source of income (developing Chrome extensions) taken away from me because of a joke extension.

- slig 14y agoit remembers be about the "I'm rich" iPhone app that was selling for 999 usd. I'm very curious to hear if any user has bought your app.
- Kerrick 14y agoNo, nobody has purchased that app. A few people have purchased a $5 recipe app that I made, but nobody has purchased the $999 joke app. If they did, I'd feel really bad and offer them a refund.
