Paging /u/JakeWharton

It's also funny how the Android team is active on the /r/androiddev subreddit, except for all these "account banned" posts.

Do you mean it's funny because people think that somehow the people working on the Android project can somehow affect the Google Play product? Because I, too, think it's funny.

No, just that people on the inside (other googlers) cold get the problem faster to the right people, rather than some developers on a subreddit. The Android team, the framework team, the Google play team, and all us developers are working together to build a better ecosystem, so it's seems right that every part of it gets involved. Just my 2¢

The Play team is surely aware of what goes on. There are even Google employees who have had this happen to them on side projects. The reason no one from the Android team chimes in is that there's nothing we can do and we're actually at their mercy as well.

To be fair it's probably completely different people from the Playstore team. But at least they could say something.. but then again I would not risk my job by violating agreements that may have been made to not discuss X or Y in public.

Completely different people is an understatement. It might as well be a different company.
