I'm a student and developing my first game but after seeing this, I don't know if I should become a business anymore I do not have that extra money for an office or special services to get around this.
Putting my address up there is asking for serious, life threatening trouble. I'm fine with Google having it, but it being there for all trolls, spammers, scammers, burglars, sabotagers, drug dealers, hitmen, mafias etc. to see is something I can not do. I mean we're just having that gamergate thing going on which shows it's quite clear that developers can and are being targeted by not just spam and trolls but physical abuse.
I'm already quite a paranoiac when it comes to public safety, and this would not only endanger me but my family (still living with my parents here).
Has Google defined what a free app is? I would assume free means not getting a buck out of it, including ad revenue. I was planning on having cheap In-app purhaces to go with ads.
