The third clue had enough detail to narrow it down to a specific game. Until that point I was thinking of a much earlier, more well known and influential game.

Such a well-conceived feature could never possibly be abused for unintended purposes.
I was completely unaware of a couple of those purple "connections".

There are actually more operators than just JR and Keisei, but transferring between any of them is usually very quick and painless if you have any of the major transportation network cards in Japan, or associated NFC app. Only tourists actually buy tickets at the machines.
However, it does tend to cost more than sticking to one operator.
I made one of my guesses plural when it should not have been, and then when it didn't work I guessed a synonym instead of realizing it was just the S at the end that was the problem.
