If I don't renew Pro and don't renew App Store Dev Account.. what happens?

The title basically states my question. My revenue has been abysmal. Nonexistent really. So if I don't pay for pro this year, what happens to my apps? Are they still in my portfolio on Gamesalad? And what happens to my actual apps on my developer account? Are they still on the app store? Or taken off.

Say I don't pay to renew either one, then in 4 months decide I have this great game idea and buy them again. Does my iTunes connect account still have all the apps in it then?

    With GameSalad all your projects will remain in your portfolio and you will still be able to use them and change them. You won't be able to use the Pro features anymore, until you renew your Pro account.

    With the Apple developer account, your projects will remain in iTunes Connect, but will be removed from sale from the App Store, so will no longer be visible or downloadable. If you renew your developer account at a later date, you will have the option to to set your Apps as Ready for Sale once again.

    If you let your apple dev account expire, you will no longer be considered a developer.

    So can I still access these apps in my iTunes connect? I know they can't be for sale. Like can I see their descriptions etc. It's just interesting for me to think I wouldn't be able to see them, and have to make a decision next month. Thanks for the info though! Helpful

    I'm not sure if you have access to the iTunes Connect portal if you aren't a registered developer. I always assumed that the apps would be saved on their servers, but not yet accessible until you choose to renew the account. I may be wrong, just speculating.
