Nobody forced anybody to buy this game. I know I wouldn't have a "fuck it" moment and buy a game out of frustration because a free version didn't come out. That's silly. If I only cared about a game enough that I only wanted the free version, then clearly I had no monetary interest in the game beforehand, and therefore aren't "forced" to buy it. Sure, you could upgrade from the PS+ edition if you liked it.....but that's still $50. Almost the same as the retail version.
That said, since this comes down to a coding issue that prevents the game from connecting to servers, then Sony and Evolution Studios should have a bounty on their heads. Why not delay the game further? Why release the game when a beta was released that should have made these errors very apparent. It's absolute bullshit to release a game that at it's core doesn't function properly. Granted, Bethesda released a shitty coded PS3 Skyrim that had an extreme studdering framerate and froze completely all the time, making the game downright unplayable, period, and refunds and compensation wasn't demanded from them. But two wrongs don't make a right, so I guess that's irrelevant. Anyway, at this point, they should, say, give a 50% refund for those who bought the game, slash it to $30, new, and make it WELL KNOWN that the game has issues. Issues that affect the majority of the experience DC is meant to have. And that they're being worked on, but in the meantime, take the game discounted. No way should they charge full price for a game that shouldn't have even been released
