I can confirm that I heard many stories of Android developers getting their Google Play dev account suspend for various reasons (which is already really bad in itself, if you have a popular app that makes a significant part of your revenue), but I rarely heard about full Google account suspension for a Play Store violation (maybe once or twice among dozens of Play Store suspensions stories).

I'm still puzzled that they take such a drastic measure automatically, without having one human checking whether the account is actually a real person's account.

I really want to see what comes out of this, if everyone gets his account reinstated and how long they had it suspended.
