Do all Pro games get removed from Google Play if you do not renew your Pro membership?

I have been working with GameSalad and have been very satisfied with it, because I have had trouble learning Lua to use Corona. However, I have looked at other tools that do use programming, and although I do not plan on switching from GameSalad anytime soon, I want to learn at least one programming language just to find out how programming is done for games. If I do learn it, and then decide to change my mind and use mostly programming for new games, and therefore do not renew the GameSalad Pro membership, what would happen? Would all games be removed from the App Store and/or Google Play, or do you just not make any more money from them (or would you still make money from them)? Even if I do switch, all the games would have been out for a long time, so I would not care if I could no longer make money from them, but I will still want them to be available. I'm mostly asking about Google Play, because I know you can publish to iOS without having a Pro membership.

GameSalads Pro membership has no effect on any of the app store availabilities. If you don't renew Pro, your apps will still remain on all of the app stores.

Gamesalad has no control over your published games. All that would happen is if you wanted to update those games after your pro expired you could do so but couldn't use any of the pro features in the updated version of the app. Gamesalad only controls how it's servers publish your game with pro or non pro features this has nothing to do with the AppStore or google play.

No

So is it the same with GameCenter? If I get a Pro account and publish a game with GS Pro that has GameCenter leaderboards and IAP, but I move on to Obj-C with SpriteKit later, GameCenter and IAP will still work in the already published game after the Pro membership expires (unless I need to update it)?

@pHghost, that is correct. Your game won't change on the App Store. GameCentre will still work. I'd imagine (just a guess) that GameCentre would still work if you didn't renew your iOS developer license, but your game won't be available in the stores anymore of course.

Thanks!

One thing you will lose is any of the ad networks that are paid out by GameSalad playhaven and GameSalad network. You would stop recieving those payments. From that point on GameSalad would keep that money.
