If the supply is stopped earlier than the contract states, players should be reimbursed.
ALT The image is a shot from a video game, featuring a sleek, modern sports car driving through a neon-lit cityscape at night. The scene has a futuristic and energetic vibe, with glitch-style text that reads ‘GAME NOT OVER’ overlaying the scene. The presence of a green progress bar at the top. There is a European Commission logo at the bottom left corner.
