In case you missed the controversy, PlayStation offered early adopters of DriveClub a $10 dollar discount off the retail price ($50 instead of $60) if they upgraded their demo to the full version of the game. However, if the user ever left the PlayStation Plus program, they lost access to the full game that they paid for.

Of course, once the program was announced the internet exploded and after a few days of pressure, Sony caved in. Here is the official response to the criticism:

UPDATE: Our priority for DRIVECLUB is to enable you to play and enjoy everything it has to offer and PlayStation recognises that the prior plan for DRIVECLUB entitlement for the upgrade to the PS Plus edition was not appropriate. As a result, we have adjusted the PlayStation Plus terms for DRIVECLUB.

Now, If you intend on downloading DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition, and upgrading to the full game experience, you will have access to the full game even if your PlayStation Plus subscription runs out.”
