Google pulls emulators from the Android Market

“Over the weekend developer Yong Zhang, known on the Android
Market as yongzh saw his Android developer account revoked and all
the apps he offers removed from the Market. The apps he was
offering were all emulators for popular older systems including the
NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Atari, Game Gear, and Game Boy. But Google
has seen fit to remove all of them ( including Nesoid, Snesoid,
Gensoid, N64oid, Ataroid, Gearoid, and Gameoid).

“The issue for Zhang is this move by Google has suddenly removed
all his revenue streams from Android Market without warning. It
also causes a problem for Android users who purchased the apps as
they can no longer receive updates or re-download the
emulators.”
