Most mysterious suspension? Those auto suspensions are getting crazy!

Guys,

Check out this:
Just had my app which I have been working on for the last 6 months suspended WHILE IN APLPHA (not published) and FOR NO REASON. : androiddev

They got their app banned, it was called “PS4 Daily”.

I just signed the petition

A bit offtopic:

It has been mentioned in the forum that the word “Flow” is a reason to get banned. Let me tell you that last week Mr Google FEATURED a Christmas-themed version of Flow-Free called “Christmas Flow”!
