What would happen if there was no upgrade option at all?

1 - PS+ edition "free" for PS+ subscribers
2 - Full game for people who... buy the full game.

With the upgrade, what's the situation

1 - PS+ edition "free" for PS+ subscribers
2 - Full game for people who... buy the full game
3 - If for some reason you want to save 10 bucks and don't mind having the game tied to the subscription, you upgrade instead of buying the full game

So yes, like Evolution said, it is merely an additional option. There is no harm for the consumers.

So DRM is fine as long as you have the option. I don't give a damn about those who know about the option. Those who are ignorant, will be taken advantage of. Their is no benefit to them, this is sketchy as fuck. Offer the upgrade from PS+ without the subscription requirement, or better yet make the PS+ version a demo for all consumers.

This is the same kind of defense of what Xbox did last summer. You either don't understand/fathom the ramifcations of this or you are simply a hypocrit.

MS Fans know that I will be on their case for the sh1t they let MS pull over the years, this is no exception. Its a bad deal undoubtedly, a bad option that is worse than no option at all.

This is not the same as what MS tried last summer, you just need to step away from this for a second and calm down. Just to remind you, MS tried to force always online DRM on all their games, no matter how you bought them. Do you see the difference here?

This is a simple option, you can get the game (even digitally), while completely ignoring this.

Also this "those who are ignorant will be taken advantage of." how many people do you think are seriously going to take harm from this? How many people are going to unknowingly do this PS Plus upgrade and then have their PS Plus run out while they're still playing the game? A couple hundred maybe? You are making a big fuss about how this is a big slap in the face to PS4 fans, when in reality the only people that could potentially be hurt by this are a couple hundred idiots that are too lazy to read a simple description.
