They’ve also had a partnership with iFixit for a while now, allowing them to sell genuine replacement parts.
The process still isn’t what I’d call repair-friendly, but I’ve been able to replace the screen of my Pixel 5 without much trouble. What bothers me most is the use of adhesive and too many parts being bundled together so they can only be replaced in bulk.
As much as I’d like to see this game preserved, I don’t think the dev can be held responsible when they’re refunding everyone who purchased the game.
