jacktrade51: We earned the outfits we had. They should be returned to us for free.
Incorrect, speaking in strict terms.
Anything we "buy" here is just a software license, see the T&Cs. Some are temporary by definition, see balls. But, any of these licenses may be revoked by the company without compensation...
Of course, they may give us some credit licenses in return for other licenses, see clubs, but, legally, there's no obligation.
Flash avatars and the bags aren't even visible in our inventories now - is it a game of "out of sight, out of mind"?
We can only hope, and we know where that leads to!
