The game was launched in 2019 so instead of fixing the bug they just pulled it from the store. Refunds only for who bought the DLC up to 3 weeks 1 year ago. Sucks to be a paying user.

Edit: LOL I thought it was still 2024

I’d be curious what the API change is that caused the bug. I think it’s just as likely that this is yet another case of Apple pulling the rug out from under devs.

I agree. If it’s unfixable it has to be something out of their control. I mean nothing is unfixable but really the only explanation for a bug being too costly to fix is that something auxiliary changed which forces you to either go back to the drawing board or cut your losses.
