found this on reddit. Valve has its problems, but I don't think they would ever dare to ban a dev account and remove all associated apps because "it's no longer active". WTF! ๐Ÿคจ#indiedev #gamedev
Well, this answers some of my questions about why I've noticed so many apps disappearing (including ones I paid for and now can no longer download, some of which I didn't have backed up) -_- love paying for a game and then permanently losing access because the developer missed an email ๐Ÿ™ƒ

On brand behavior for Google. ๐Ÿ˜ 

@winterwolves and if you do follow up on the emails, you are forced to upload scans of ID/passport to keep your account.
@winterwolves yep, had to go revalidate my email address. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
