### 1/5 — No adds fraud

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.4*

I load the game. Then I choose the option No adds for 1$. I pay 1$. One or two days play with no adds. Then game stops opening. No update needed. Just not opening. I deleted the game and load again. And now I don’t have my,,no adds’’ option. I have to buy it again. 1 $ not big money. I just hate sheathing
