Yes, rules are rules but that is a circular argument and beside the point; which is that we all know the rules are being broken and must assess the risk that Disney will see the rule braking as a bad reflection on them. At this point they have no plans to restart the game and the TLOPO developers are running the game in the same manner that Disney would have so the infraction is not very egregious but once tlopo starts drifting far from Disney's core values it is likely that they will shut it down just as the cop will not likely shut you down for 5 over but will shut you down every time for double the speed limit.
