As usual, some Googler browsing HN will reactivate his account, everyone will forget and Google won't change a thing to his unbanning process.

Hopefully, more devs will do what this dev is (said to be) doing.

> Consider it burned. #Terraria for @GoogleStadia is canceled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward.

Of course, it's very difficult for small devs to do this. It takes an already solid business to be able to stand up like this. As always, I think this is the only way for Google to change, but I don't think it can happen.

Good on him. Takes courage and an established product to do this.

Good example of standing up.

But he won't pull Terraria from the Play Store I guess. Because he has no choice unless he wants to wreck his business.

That's actually an interesting point. If it is tied to the same Google account, will he still get money from apps sold through the play store? Can he pull an app from the play store if he cannot even log in?

He is a private person.

The games are published by an indie game studio.

Normally this is done over an separate, non personal, account. Sometimes even multiple non personal accounts for multiple products.

So RE-LOGIC's Google account should not have been affected.
