https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1620527847063572481 Never played it but some features were really good and i hoped they would implement them in the main game. "Things beyond us" a.k.a income was...

@hayhor What about people that has coins in the game, maybe waiting to use them for the next season and now they basically spent their money for nothing? They won't even refund that.
@Cro_Pittt Why would they refund it? Again, when you load coins you do so at your discretion. I have 6k apex coins sitting right now. They could shut it down tomorrow and I couldn't do a thing about it.
The only thing that would be shady at this point is if they kept selling stuff after the announcement.

@hayhor It's at your discretion but it's still a disrespectful thing to do. I invested some money in the game and now you don't even give me the chance to actually get something from it?
Other games refunded all the bought items when they shut down their servers.
- @Cro_Pittt I don't think it's right to keep everything. I don't know other games situations. I remember Google stadia and Google refunding people BUT only people that bought through the Google store.
So where would you draw the line with this? Refund all 40 million spent? Refund only stuff bought within the last couple months? Refund only the unspent coins, minus free BP coins?Well just to note.
It's not like you're actually investing in the game, you're buying cosmetics, not shares.
Companies are built to make money, they're not a bank.
It's not exactly like they're just going to refund all the profit they made, it would be illogical to make games at that point.
The game is free, the main source of income would be microtransactions... apart from losing all their profits it would literally mean the game they developed ended up costing them money to make.
Keeping up the game would mean paying for server costs too and possibly some licensing with the platforms and other things.
I do agree that games shouldn't be taken away, though that pretty much only applies to games that support single-player... it's quite normal for online games to lose support eventually.
Some projects can stay up for longer, but if it's been projected that it's not doing so great, it's better to get rid of the project before it becomes too much of an issue.
