How do I use google play developer if my account is closed due to inactivity

Question

I have this information on my google play console, and I lost any email what do I do?

This developer account has been closed due to inactivity, and can't be reactivated.
We've sent more information to the account owner's email address.

Is there a way I can reopen another account on this email address, or can I use a different email address.

Me, too. And I can do nothing to reactive my account. – Schuss

Here is a response I found from Google: Google's Response

Pasting text here for convenience and incase it gets "disabled" LOL!

If an account is closed because of inactivity then I am afraid there is no way to recover it. A number of warnings are sent to the account owner before the account is closed.

The dormant account policy does allows you to open a new account: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9899234 but you will need to use a different account/email address.

You will also need to use a different Developer name when creating your new account, so if you used your real name you are tough out of luck and must now use a dev handle name, perhaps something like: JonDoeNotDeletedByGoogle.

This is fascinating. I mean, sure they emailed me/you if you are reading this. But wow this is fairly devastating. I have one email that I use for development (and almost nothing else) and of course, I used that with all google developer stuff, and now I need to use a different one for play alone.
