From the article:
"In recent months, Google Play has rolled out a new account verification process that applies to all developers. These policies require developers to provide verified information to continue distributing their apps on the platform. The objective, according to Google, is to ensure that the apps available on Google Play meet high standards of quality and reduce the risk of malicious software being distributed."

I'm in the same situation (Score:2)
And I have a single app that I don't make money from and when I asked to close I couldn't unless I could make the users uninstall the app, so my only resort is to let it self-die.
What's worse is that to be verified I also basically would have been required to link my bank account to Google.
