This is a bald faced lie, so you must ignore it.

What a strange predicament. Perhaps a naive question, but is it possible to create a new developer's account and then request a transfer of your apps? Given that you have the sources & password to old account etc.

Brutal, the frustration is palpable. Forgive my mobile engineering ignorance, but does developing on Android pose similar risks or is control less centralized to Google?

I recall seeing a few stories on here in the past few months regarding people's apps disappearing from Google Play and Google's support providing no real "support".

It's worse on android. You'll lose access to every google account you have (email, photos, drive) and if you circumvent by creating a new account and are caught then you will be banned again as well as all of the accounts that are associated with the new account. This could potentially destroy an entire business if they hire a banned individual and get their entire company banned because of it.

One wonder how those problems managed to continuously get ignored as issues get escalated up the ladder.

In fact, it's sometimes the only way to get help
