SO yes he did buy something. It is not something you can physically touch or hold but it is a virtual good. Therefor if the game shuts down before he is done using said virtual goods he is out the money.

Perception is King
Buy something and Tynon/uCool will not give you your money back. The second that money leaves your pocket, you have lost it.
In the OP, he has already lost the $35 but he has not lost the advantage that he gained out of those $35, therefore, if uCool go out of business then you aren't losing the money, but the advantage you gained from spending that money. There is quite a big difference!
