You and I have opposite views. Everytime I see a paid game thread being bumped, before I check it, I'm like "oh, no, it's been removed or broken by an OS update...". As for the game, I hope one day 505 Games fixes it and then publishes it under their account, allowing previous customers to keep their purchase (I can be delusionally over optimistic, as well haha).
I was on the fence on this for the longest of times. Had a bad feeling about it from day one and never pulled the trigger. I’m glad I stuck with my gut feeling.
Quoting from a post from 2021: For a while there, this was close to the best version of the game, beating the Switch port by a mile. Frankly, that things ended like this is very disappointing. My guess is that NetEase changed priorities and didn’t bother to tell anyone. I hope that anyone who bought it while it was broken got a refund.
When I tried for a refund it was too late. Couldn’t do it via the usual Apple way. Frustrating Principle of it
