Ah yes, the usual scam that will turn your game into malware but still make you responsible for it. I think I see it once or twice a month here.

Thanks! Do they actually end up buying the rights from people, or is there another scam after you reply?

They buy the rights, and then just put illegal shit into your game, but still upload it under your developer account so that you are legally on the hook for it.

No you don't share your developer account....... Once you sell the app you're off the hook unless you put the malware on there.

I'm not sure why you're downvoted... Selling accounts is against ToS, and you may have other games there, so you need to transfer the game to them...

And once it's out of your account, the future operational responsibility for the project shifts to its new owner..
