Millions seems too high. You can buy the full game digitally for $60, completely ignoring the PS Plus deal. And there might very well be a disclaimer when upgrading the PS Plus that tells you that the upgraded version will be tied to PS Plus.

Honestly the number of people doing this unknowingly and then actually being negatively affected by this, because their subscription runs out while they're still playing is probably going to be ridiculously small.

But does that make it ok? You could apply the same logic to justify the Pre-180 XB1 that the whole internet was up in arms over.

With the X1 plans millions of people would have been affected by it. The fans of Xbox exclusive franchises would have either needed to put up with MS DRM or not play the franchises they love anymore. No reselling or buying used (which are both things many people do) or no Halo, that was the choice they were given.

In this case it's have the game tied to your PS Plus account or just buy it for regular price to fully own it. I really can't get up in arms about this, especially since I just don't see this plan being very successful anyway.

Also I feel that it's peoples job to inform themselves about the purchases they make, I'm sure Sony won't hide this, illustrated by the fact that is out in the open already, so if people fail to catch up on this piece of information which will probably be listed on the PS store page of the PS Plus upgrade, then I think that that's nobody fault but their own.

Though I agree that people should inform themselves better before making a decision, this sounds too much like a con man's justification.
