- 【An Apology to All Bit Buddy Players】 - 23 November 2025
📢 To all our Cyber Bosses, Procrastination Masters, and Workhorse Wranglers:We must first start with a deep bow – we're sorry! Our "digital domestication" skills were not up to par, causing a cyber flip on the very first day of launch!1️⃣ Configuration Error: The Developer Supporter Pack (including two limited skins) was mistakenly included in the standard edition, allowing all players who bought the standard edition to acquire them unexpectedly. 2️⃣ Purchase Issue: Because the standard edition contained the DLC, players trying to buy the bundle or the DLC alone received duplication warnings and couldn't complete their purchase.🔧 How Are We Fixing This? We immediately contacted Valve staff. The configuration issue has now been fixed, and the bundle can be purchased normally. For the limited skins that were unexpectedly acquired and then reclaimed, we know we owe you, and compensation…

- Important Notice! - 19 November 2025
Currently, there is a configuration error in the Steam store. The base game incorrectly includes content from the Developer Supporter Pack, which prevents the purchase of the bundle. We are waiting for Valve staff to resolve this issue. Once handled, the Supporter Pack content will be removed from the base game. If you have already used items from the DLC to synthesize other items, purchasing the DLC later will not grant you those synthesis items again; it will only unlock the cosmetics and the gallery entries.
