It seems that Old World is still a critical game world. Its collapse caused the global game to shut down completely.
"But with the ticket booths closed, it doesn't make much difference whether the supermarket is open or not," Fatty muttered to himself.

He enthusiastically waved his stack of supermarket entrance tickets. "Before, the Doctor found it annoying to buy tickets before entering the supermarket, so I bought a big stack in advance. I never thought they'd come in handy today."
