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
actually, he never had property of any items, heroes nor purchased goods.
according to the TOS anything regarding the game stays property of ucool:

1.10. Ownership 1.10.1. Games and Service All rights and title in and to the Service (including without limitation any user accounts, titles, computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialogue, catch phrases, locations, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, methods of operation, moral rights, any related documentation, "applets" incorporated into the Game Client, character profile information, recordings of games played using the Game Client, and the Game Client and server software) are owned by uCool or its licensors. The Game and the Service are protected by United States and international laws, and may contain certain licensed materials in which uCool’s licensors may enforce their rights in the event of any violation of this Agreement.

what we/he bought are technically fees to use those services/items. you are however correct on with him being out of his money, gone and lost forever.

there was however a supreme court that the ruled the gamer in a different game was to be refunded. it was different though because he lived in east asia and the game was not und US laws (unlike tynon).
