Unpublish a game

This article describes how to unpublish a game from the GameSnacks Developer console.

Tip: If you only need to fix a bug or make an improvement to your game, you should upload a new release. You don't need to unpublish your game.

Before you start

It's important to know that when you unpublish a game:

• It will take up to 30 days to notify distribution partners, unpublish, and remove your game from the games catalog.
• During the period that your game will continue to be distributed, you'll continue to receive a share of any ads revenue. Once your game is no longer distributed, you will no longer receive any ads revenue share for that game.
• Note that unpublishing a game will not delete the game from the GameSnacks system. Instead, when you unpublish a game, within 30 days, GameSnacks will no longer distribute the game either on Google products or GameSnacks partner sites and apps.
• Distribution partners will be notified of your game's removal via email.
• Distribution partners may remove links to your game, and may remove your game from their game centers.
• If you choose to republish your game you'll need to upload a new release and request approval again.
