Well I mean yeah, devs can do whatever they want, even ban people for no reason...
But is LO really in position to do so? Of cource not. If they had a multimillion playerbase then yeah do whatever you want but what is APB playerbase now?2k? 3? If they start pulling some stuff like that they can lose players in no time and kill the game. Thus LO probably do want to be careful with players who bought stuff in a first place. They are the most active playerbase and only thay keep this game alive
