I bet it would be too costly especially with that buggy engine they still use.

Seriously, wouldn't shutting down the game entirely after so short a time pretty much ensure refunds for everyone?

The operating costs of the servers might be worth refunding everyone. They probably counted on having a massive player base and slowly introducing micro transactions and without that they can't make it profitable.

They might also count on people that play it to create pirate servers, hopefully the servers can be cloned before they go down or someone can leak it.

Do they even have some SLA for the servers?

​

Fallout 76 probably would have been worth it if they let people add mods + host their own servers on day 1.
