title: ivx 👾💀 (@0xcrypto): "Previously, I started a new Play Store account because I wanted to make video games for Android. But I never got time to finish my game. As a result, my personal play store account was closed by @Google  because of inactivity.

Now, I developed a new app, let's publish it on play store. But I cannot restore my old account. The message now says "To start publishing apps on Google Play, create a new account." but I haven't found any method to create a new play console account yet either.  

Okay no problem, I don't need a play store account just to publish apps, I could maybe ship an APK via @fdroidorg . But wait, what's this? To distribute my APK in the future, I must sign up for Android Developer Verification Program?

Okay it should be just a sign up then. No big deal. But wait, this Android Developer Verification Program costs 25$? I just wanna publish my little app for free. I am not even making money out of it. Why should I be paying this tax to Google? Okay 25$ isn't a big amount, I can pay. But what's this, I need to tell them who I am as well? WTF is this shit! 

Okay how about I will just share a development build with my friends. Tf? Even for the users below 20, I must register with the techno overlord? Sure there is no 25$ for 20 or less, but I still need to have a verified payments profile and must tell them my opinion about publishing on android?

Tell me @Google, can I write "Fuck you" there? or should I be a lickaboot loyal little rule-follower and write a love letter there?" | nitter
