Same here. They actually nuked my account.

I hadn't worked on my app there for a good while and so didn't really think to check. They sent an email with some deadline before which I must update the app. I promptly forgot about it, assuming the worst that's going to happen is the app gets unlisted until I push an update.

Fast forward a couple months and I think to check it out. Whoops. Deadline was a week ago. Well, no bother, I can still log in and push and update. And so I did. Half an hour later I get an email: "your account has been closed"

Wtf. I log in.

"Hey, sorry, but your account is closed. No takesie backsies. Want to republish the app? Register anew and cough up twenty bucks again, globwad." (not an exact quote)

A quick search revealed I'm hardly the first to experience this, and there is no hope for the account. So I thought I might as well be a nuisance about it. I wrote an email to support absolutely demanding my account be reinstated for the very good reason that I did push an update ~~(after the deadline)~~.

I expected nothing but a template "nah" response. But to my surprise a couple days later I got an actual response, saying that my account was reinstated, and may be used again, with a new deadline.

I fucking hate Google.
