A site losing money is great for customers if it comes in the form of them getting some of their money back. The site literally runs on $ taken from customers; it is not some independent entity taking a risk on you guys. If there is no player pool, there is no site. Keep this in mind and be more demanding/judgemental with the places that you choose to gamble. The casino/gambling business is literal robbery, but because they pretend it is not adversarial, you as a player are allowed to ask them to pay when they make mistakes or you get lucky (as is the case with a guarantee that doesn't garner enough entrants).
Don't even consider for a moment that ACR is going to go out of business. They are raking money hand over fist. In the past when there were overlays they would just freeze the tournament and cancel it in the middle of the event. This dude is a completely unreliable businessman and has never done anything except look to profit the most that he can from the poker community. If the site or he were in financial trouble this is the sort of human being that would just close shop and keep players money.
