POV: a few years ago you uploaded a bunch of games into Google Play that:
- are fully Free Software
- don't gather any user data
- are fully local, no ads
- are complete and finished
- don't really need updating.

One of the games was removed because of "missing privacy policy". Others - I don't even know, they didn't bother to tell me 😜 Seems like the idea that some apps may simply respect the user and not exist to mine for data is unfathomable to Google.

@tudza "Telling them otherwise" is the hard part. Look at the troubles Conversations (XMPP client) is having with Google Play right now.

Also, it's not some kind of a wide net I've been caught into. Some of my other games are still available, and I see no pattern in ones that got removed (randomly over the years). And the only game I uploaded that's not FOSS and likely does some light analytics (based on Defold engine from before it went source-available) is still there.

@Suiseiseki No, my reaction when looking at how to integrate a CMake-based NDK app with external deps into F-Droid's build system was "uhm, maybe later".

I do have an F-Droid repo with them though: dosowisko.net/fdroid/repo/ ...but there's also plenty of barely-working jam stuff in there so don't expect to be amazed 😂

It's frustrating to see how platforms like Google Play often prioritize data collection over user respect. A few years back, I uploaded several fully Free Software games, including one called color block jam, which don’t gather any user data and provide a completely local experience. It's disheartening when apps that genuinely respect user privacy get sidelined or removed due to arbitrary policies. This seems to reflect a broader issue in the industry where ethical practices are overlooked.

@Sebastian Krzyszkowiak A few years back, I uploaded some fully free, no-ads, no-tracking games to Google Play—just pure, local fun like Drift Boss without the constant pop-ups. One got removed for "missing privacy policy" even though it doesn't collect anything, and others disappeared without explanation. Apparently, respecting users and not harvesting data is too suspicious for Google.

It's frustrating to witness how platforms like Google Play frequently prioritize data collection over user consideration. A few years ago, I uploaded several completely Free Software games, including one called <a href="eggycar2.io">eggy car</a>, which do not collect any user data and offer a fully local experience. It’s disheartening when applications that truly honor user privacy are overlooked or removed due to arbitrary regulations.

Eggy Car is a fun, physics-based, casual driving game in which you drive a car with a fragile egg. Carry the egg the farthest distance possible across hilly roads.
