Transferring an android game from one developer console to another on playstore

Time:11-05

I am a beginner and have some very basic questions:

1: The old account has some reviews and replies from the dev account. What will happen to those after the transfer (will the reply from dev account still be there and just the name of the account will be changed?)

2: The new account is created after the game was published on the old account. How will that match up in the account details and will there be a mismatch in the display of game publishing and account creation date?

3: Will the previous account have no link whatsoever to the game after the transfer?

Thank you :)

Yes. All reviews and answers will be migrated over to the new account. The answers will look like they were posted from the new account.

2: The new account is created after the game was published on the old account. How will that match up in the account details and will there be a mismatch in the display of game publishing and account creation date?

I'm not sure if and how this will be visible to users. Looking at a listing I don't even see the original published date anymore, just the date the app was last updated. In my case that date is before the migration to the new account happened and the date is still correct. I can't find the date the account was created anywhere on the public-facing parts of the Play Store. I don't think you need to worry about this. :)

3: Will the previous account have no link whatsoever to the game after the transfer?

That's correct. It will be completely removed and inaccessible from the original account.
