If I had enough money I would travel to visit Google HQ in person to meet John and Justin. My app (Wood V) updates are being rejected because they say it contains "League of Legends logo". And it doesn't. I've email them 6 times. SIX TIMES, proving Riot gives permission for developers to use art assets: https://developer.riotgames.com/general-policies <https://developer.riotgames.com/general-policies>
PLEASE DO - Think outside the box - Think of ways for players to evaluate and improve their own gameplay - Think of ways to connect players with their friends - Blow our minds (it’s encouraged) - *Feel free to use any of our art assets from the game (but NOT any official Logos)* Most important proof: *http://www.riotgames.com/legal-jibber-jabber <http://www.riotgames.com/legal-jibber-jabber>* But they still replying me with the same exact message: Hi, Thank you for reaching out to the Google Play Team.

I've even sent them a PDF with ARROWS, designed for a 5 years old kid to understand my app, in each activity, doesn't have any League of Legends logo, I just use ART ASSETS LIKE CHAMPION SQUARES. There are LOTS of running and perfectly fine apps out there with this same content. What can I do? I can't hold my patience any more, I've sent them another email today, I hope this time is different. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
