They just said they had no intention on revocation of xbox dev accounts. They fully support the community. So we're in the good.

Well done with your made up reason.
You realise it was on the store, but microsoft removed it.. So beta testing something that microsoft doesn't want is kinda weak argument
It's like "Dear Nintendo, I wasn't pirating your software, I was beta testing it and noting problems I didn't like. kthx"
I don't care what you do, but gaslighting is not on.
Mine got disabled too. I don't even own an Xbox One or Series but I got a free developer license a while back when they were giving them away just in case.

Yeah, nothing about the responses I've seen from them suggests anything definitive about the inactivity purges not being a thing going forward. And saying that "some" accounts were unintentionally disabled is conveniently ambiguous.
Then again, I'd love to see the store flooded with thousands of forks of open source apps if they do keep disabling "inactive" accounts.

I got my account disabled, and also contacted Microsoft, but I got a different answer.
The difference is that I didn't activated dev mode on my Xbox, I got this dev account for free because I was a student back then. However, I didn't get any message from Microsoft since I created it, many years ago.

Got the same response, got my partner center account reactivated but was told I need to maintain a presence in the Microsoft store within 90 days...
Guess I need to find a "hello world" project to publish...

lmao, microsoft getting thousands of submissions for hello world apps.. haha. I'm loving everything about the series x, since I got it about four or five days ago. got dev mode and retroarch set up. that's just one of many things that are awesome about the system, I just hope they don't expect me to write an app or something. I don't mind buying games at all, but I might have to hack the system if they take away dev mode from me just to get those quirks back.
Ok so it seems there are two emails being sent out, one mentioning the 90 day clause and one which doesn't.
Which makes me wonder the following:
1) Is everyone affected by the 90 day rule but one email doesn't mention it?
2) Is the 90 day rule being mentioned in error or is there a criteria which exempts people from the 90 day rule?

1.) Yes. It's still in the terms of service. Whether or not they'll continue to enforce it is the unknown since they hadn't for so long and suddenly did.
2.) I haven't seen any official criteria that would exempt a user from that section of the developer program policy.
btw whats the email address from MS so i can search my inbox that i need to clean up
i think i dodged the bullet cause i'm not seeing anything in my inbox after searching Microsoft
[email protected] is the email you need to contact if your account got disabled.
See this post on how to check if your access was disabled:

Looking around, the link for the agreement I was specifically given dates back to Sep 2021 which would approximately match the time frame for the deactivations. However looking at some older agreements (e.g. Jul 2021, although the 'history' mentions 2018) there was still an 'active presence' clause which could cause an account to lose access to Partner Center.
Looking at it again, so far I haven't even found '90 days' outside of emails, just the mention of the vague 'active presence'.
The reason for my post is because the inconsistent emails/enforcement is making me wonder if either there's mis/incomplete communication going on (i.e. the 90 days is or isn't a rule for everyone) or MS is using some hidden criteria for determining who stays in 'good standing' or not without an 'active presence'.
If we're lucky, it's just MS being inconsistent and all dev mode users will remain 'in good standing', even if officially they could be terminated.
Check your junk mail, that's where I found mine....even though I use Outlook.
Yes MS put an MS email in the junk folder, it's why I was hesitant to believe it at first.

Yay, they said that they'll roll back the accidental changes (cleaning) that were made on the server side.
