Unable to purchase gems in Gem Shop on Steam
Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere. I looked but didn't see anything. When I click on any of the links in the GS, nothing happens. The only buttons that do anything are the area transition buttons. Steam overlay is on, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for the help.

And so far he has shown no signs of wanting to fix the problem despite the fact that it's causing him to not earn money from the people affected by it.

If you have access to a PC with Windows 10 on it then you could try loading the game on that (just make sure you click the cloudsave button in the training screen after making any purchases or the cloudsave will erase your purchase and Lava won't do anything about it, I lost the starter pack because of that the first day the game released on steam and he has not answered once since).

On Idleon you can play the game on Android or Web versions to buy stuff and then switch back to Steam. But you cant do that with Idle Skilling...

Same issue, I see a rotating bundle, but cannot buy the bundle or even normal gems.

New player here. Same issue - not able to buy the starter pack or the gems. I want to spend my money but the Devs said: NO

good issue to have.
Don't be dumb and waste money on this. You need more than 20k gems to max everything useful (not including consumables).
Instead, change your windows time to a decade+ ahead, then boot the game and sit in asylum / raids for free infinite tickets/keys, meaning infinit chance gems

I couldn't buy gems until I launched the game from Steam instead of using my pinned shortcut.
