This really sucks from anyone who bought the main game of fallout 4 as a result of the season pass glitch. Will they also be offered a refund on the main game?
It does suck, but that's on you. Why should you be refunded?

How was this stealing?

This is like when you pay with a 50 bill and the cashier gives you back $80 in change.
It's a good thing i don't need refunding then isn't it.
The point is, either Sony or Bethseda fucked up, one of them should foot the bill.
Or someone leaves the garage door open and you make off with their bicycle.

How have they fucked you though? It was a pricing error. Why should they honour it? What about the people who paid full price?
Encouraging charge backs too, which is sad.
But they didn't "fuck" anyone. They reversed a glitch.

One account, one game, like I've been preaching for years, if they fuck you, just fuck them back with a chargeback.
Human interaction vs an automated system that doesn't know any better. The owner would definitely have not sold the bike if he didn't want tonot really.
it's like being at a garage sale, a bicycle being listed as free, you going to the owner, saying. "i'm just going to take this, is that ok?" them saying, "yes" and giving you a receipt. and then a week later them knocking on your door, walking through your house and taking it back despite possibly buying a new bicycle helmet and some new lights and a water bottle due to the new bike you got for free.

The human would not have sold you the bike if you asked him about it. If you personally asked for the free season pass in person which was listed as free that person would have realized it was a mistake and not give it to you.you think the game automatically got listed by what? the terminator? your saying there was no human input at all? ha!

It's more like going to a store like ASDA/Tesco/etc and taking an item with a barcode to an automatic till and when scanning it it says £0.00 and you thinking that makes sense and is totally a legit purchase and not making it clear to any employee that there is a pricing error.
I think they only ones they have possibly fucked are those that then went on to purchase Fallout 4 on the back of having gotten the season pass for free. Other than that, no one has really been done out of anything.
I don't care about it, but I do feel that they should have just taken it on the chin and accepted that they fucked up.

But luckily, because you are not handling an actual item and only the promise of an item the storefront owner can rectify the error before huge losses are met when a load of people find out and try and fuck the system

Happens all the time in stores, but they don't come to the owners house and take it back. Not sure what your point is.
My point is the item was listed as free and was an error. Not £1 or $1, free. Who thinks that's legit?
The other point that people purchased the ability to download a digital product before it was even available. Now if they allowed people to download the game and then charge them - yes that's shitty, or let people download and play the game and then taking away the content making game saves useless - again shitty.
No-one walked out a store with a product
People really upset because they couldn't take advantage of a clear mistake? Pricing errors happen. The other night street fighter v and a few games had pricing errors on amazon. Amazon isn't required to uphold those errors either. They simply do to keep their customers happy. Same with other retailers. I remember when best buy was accidentally selling metro redux I think for a penny due to a graphics card voucher glitch. Their Facebook was swarmed by people felt like they were owed something. It was an embarrassing. When it comes to pricing errors you win some and you lose some. Be happy when you get away with one and there's no need to be pissed off when you don't. Now I'm going to go enjoy my new copy of project x zone 2.

I'm sure it varies per how big the pricing error and how many orders were created. Some people got sfv cheap thanks to the error. Some who tried to order more then one had theirs canceled from what I read.Amazon are hit and miss.
On Xbox elite controllers last year they cancelled orders due to pricing errors. Like you said you win some or lose some. But atleast with Amazon and Best Buy you actually are paying something.
but it is relevant. Just because they screwed up doesn't mean you are entitled to capitalize on it. And let's not pretend like most consumers just happen to luck out. Lets be honest, these mistakes get posted and these so called innocent consumers try to take advantage for their own gain.bingo...i'd argue all errors of this type should be honored. it's isn't the consumers fault they managed to snag a bargain. the fact it may or may not be a pricing error is irrelevant.
Better than pissing off fans who paid for it. Some probably minutes before the glitch.
You get those when you get PS Plus games too. Guess those should not be revoked either even when you unsubscribe. Also, places like Best Buy often cancel price mistakes. I don't understand what is so offensive about this.To everyone saying no purchase took place - explain this.
This is so utterly wrong.
Let's say you are on a flea market and you see a really good looking bike, you expect it to cost something like 100 going by your past experiences with bikes and just common sense. You ask the seller how much it costs and they tell you 1. 1?! That's pretty cheap for a bike! Of course you say yes (ONE EURO) and take your new shiny bike with you. Five hours later the police knocks on your door. Turns out the seller stole the wonderful bike and tried to get rid of it on the flea market. But you didn't know, you tell the police officers. It's ok, they respond. You won't get into trouble but you have to give it back. Ok, you say, crying on the inside.
Now, Sony is a professional seller. It should't be any of our concern whether their backend displays prices correctly or not. But since there is such a thing as common sense everybody knew there was something wrong with the Season Pass being 0. You're not a thieve if you tried to grab it for free but you shouldn't expect to keep it either. Common sense.

Not really, as we told Sony we were taking it, they didn't stop us at the time. They were even kind enough to send me a letter saying thanks for taking it. Shouldn't be stamping feet after the event.
they don't take it back because ...how would that work anyway? there's really nothing they can doHappens all the time in stores, but they don't come to the owners house and take it back. Not sure what your point is.
Kinda funny that the $10 SF5 deal at Amazon went through and this got revoked.
Some countries have laws regarding such deals.This is so utterly wrong.
