    Did this happen because of Google API pricing changes?

      The pricing changes happened years ago. This is about the game being F2P but nothing can actually be done without paying, and subscriptions from the Web version don’t grant access to the Steam game.

        Regardless of the game, there was a recent change that went into effect on March 1.
