Should I buy a Google Play developer account?
Buying an account is riskier than renting or publishing through one. A sold account still carries the seller’s verified identity, and because Google now requires ID verification tied to a real person, an account whose owner-of-record is someone else is one verification prompt away from being frozen — taking every app on it down with it. Marketplace accounts also often arrive with a hidden strike history. If you need Play access without your own verification, publishing on an established console and transferring the app out leaves you with a clean account in your own name.
Want a verified publisher?
ConsoleMint runs the live-and-transfer model — go live fast on a seasoned console, then transfer it to one you own. Ask for the AAB and get the terms in writing.
