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.

Republish a game
After your game has been completely unpublished and removed from the catalog, you can choose to republish it. To republish a game, upload a new release of the game for approval.
Note: When you republish a game, there's no guarantee that the game will be embedded or curated in the same places. This means unpublishing your game may affect your revenue potential.
