Comment on Google bug causes users to lose all paid Android apps

Comments

I've lost access to my paid apps for the past 2 months (ongoing). According to Google Support, it's an issue affecting accounts used on rooted devices; that account will get a 403 error whenever attempting to download/update/use a paid app. Support's suggested "temp fix" was to make a new account. There are no refunds, no credit for apps lost, and no ETA on when the bug will be resolved.
