They couldn't give money back because:

1. They used that money to keep it alive. When people stop buying with real life money then there's no money to keep the servers up.

2. There's many people who worked for FR, they get paid too.

3. The Referees also need money to live in real life.

It's not their fault that they can't give our money back, they only tried to keep the servers up as long as possible.
