None of my fellow overseers was able to connect to the ingame lunchbox store. I attribute it to the fact that there's a bug that can potentially delete all of your in game purchases if a save file gets corrupted. Since this means potential lawsuits, reimbursemets and all sort of PR heat, its no surprise gamesas decided to stop people from buying more products that will potentially have to be returned.


It is actually all good news. The fact this is happening on a weekend means that we can expect the bug to be fixed even earlier then anticipated (I expect 1.2 to be rolled out on Monday with a press release and everything). All of this means that the good folks in gamesas are working their asses right now to make things right again.


As for the game - since theres no ingame purchases you will not lose any more money, but the bug is still there and it means you can still lose all you progress. So back up those saves! And use this opportunity to play the game in this 'non-paid' mode. It can be dirricult at times but who doesn't enjoy a good challenge once in a while?
