sounds like an easy chargeback claim if that's the case, "service not rendered/doesn't exist anymore" might lose the acct out of it but who really cares at this point

It's hard for me to identify with them because it's just not very smart to pay money for that kind of crap. I don't buy stuff that can be taken away like that. It is true that nothing lasts forever, but digital doo-dads only last as long as the web site you bought them on. I hope they learned their lesson. I doubt they did. People pay for this stuff every day on web sites. Cosmetic stuff for avatars, special edition avatars, little award thingies, blah blah blah. It's all a waste. It's very easy for people to say, "eh, it's only a dollar" or "eh, it's only 50 cents" or "meh, it's only 5 bucks" but if you repeatedly spend money on those things it adds up. So, do I feel bad for these outraged people? No, I don't. They should smarten up and stop wasting money.
