Or it's just a bug.
Farsight  [author] Aug 3, 2017 @ 5:38am 
Looks like Steam updated their tables coding.

If that's true, then the achievement accompanying it is now impossible for new players to obtain. Is there a way of contacting the developers and letting them know of this?
SeagullOCE Sep 19, 2016 @ 3:34am
