I just received the word that Qbot Industries has been restored and our account is officially back in good standing. Seeing my friend get his dream back after all this stress feels incredible. Thank you for pushing back against these unfair policies with me, but let's keep a close watch …

Google's Playstore is very hard on Small developers. They have a automated system that suspends apps and developer accounts for the smallest of things one of these is for your app icon or title slightly resembling another apps. If your app is suspended you dont have the chance to change any issues that caused the suspension your just stuck with the strike on your account. If you make three of these mistakes then you loose your account. Once your account is terminated you cannot make a new one as Google will automatically terminate the account! This means that for a simple mistake of a app submitted with a icon resembling another app or brand you can loose you whole account and never release apps again!!
This has caused many apps and developers to be suspended. Among these developers is Qbot Industries. He is a Minecraft Pocket Mod developer who lost his account on Tuesday 22nd of March 2016 and because of this he can't follow his dream of becoming a Famous app developer. Please help us resolve this issue with Google plays harsh Automated termination system, give developers a chance to fix issues with apps instead of just suspending them and give the small app developers a voice!

I have been reading through the stories from other developers who lost their livelihood to these automated filters and it is clear that this is a systemic failure. We are currently gathering these accounts to present a clearer picture of the damage being done to small creators. Thank you for keeping this conversation alive while I coordinate our next steps.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that people understand how unfair it is for a small developer to lose everything over a simple mistake. It is deeply personal to me because I know how hard the folks at Qbot Industries worked to build those apps. Thank you for showing that we will not let these automated systems crush independent creators.

This is really to terminate account for only 3 suspend and i have see people have 4 and 5 suspend and there accounts still working :/
Q-Bot is one of the best app developers I can think of, terminating his account for a stupid reason is huge mistake, Google play, please bring back Q-bot,
He doesn't deserve to be treated like this just because it's has an icon like that. You still see Minecraft and Jarasic World getting downloaded so what's the problem here.
This is unfair. He is an app developer doing what he loves to do and he's very talented. How could the developers crush his dreams? Please help him.
Wow this is devastating. QBOT Industries makes good reliable apps. He is a good guy. Always helpful in answering my dumb questions. There are so many other developers that are awful. Google you really pick the wrong guy and it's a shame. Please please give this nice young guy a chance. Please please. He cares about doing things right just give him another chance. Please.
You are absolutely right that they have most unfair banning system when we compare it with others like App Store that they have destroyed our 3 years of policy compliant developer account and million downloaded apps due to prior violations. They don't give you prior notice before app has been suspended, don't give you a solution how to solve violations with communication. They punish you by this way. You can't reach to policy supports team. They don't answer you They terminate accounts due to prior violations but they don't give you prior chance to resubmit your app.
My developer account also suspended for no reason
