I wouldn't worry about it being revoked. I doubt SEGA Europe even knows that Yakuza is their franchise at this point!

I have no PS+ at the moment and the Fallout 4 Season Pass got revoked.
So I will wait if it is a price error or not.

Hahahaha. I'm sorry buddy.
Sony would pobably have to compensate Sega for this, right? So they will be getting money (but from Sony).

Because Sony just steals these games from the publisher every month, no compensation is given...right?

The store page shows it as free for PS Plus members for me but when I try to check out it shows up as costing 39,99€.
They probably noticed it already. Bummer
EDIT: German store.
Wasn't this once a free game for PS Plus members some time last year?

I don't know if you would get to keep it but... It seams I forgot to checkout my purchase so I didn't get it, damn.
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important
Fuuuuuuuuck it was fixed while in my cart
Thank god I noticed before I got hit by 39.99 on my cc
Fucking PS3 updates made the whole thing super slow... sob
Grats for whoever got it! Can't bear to fork out 40 for a PS3 digital-only release at this point and with no BC on sight (or ever, really) on ps4

Did they just revoke all the purchases of this month's PS Plus games? Because while I already owned Yakuza 5 and Oreshika, I did just "buy" the others and now they show up as purchasable/"Free" again and are no longer in my download list.

They're back for me again now too. I guess they locked it down while they were fixing Yakuza mistake. Still, those who got it should probably queue it up for download ASAP just in case.

Sega still get paid if it's on Plus.

Maybe we'll get a free Sonic game as an apology when they take it away

damn, the game isn't in my download list
Rellik

Yes, although my license is still valid for now
Vita's Fat Princess Piece of Cake is a F2P 'Bejewelled' style game.
wow im so unlucky... just renewed a few minutes ago too...
Ah. Lame.

Damn people in here are like vultures. Renewing PS+ just to take advantage of a pricing error.

Damn missed out by a few minutes =(
But playing it for a short while gives you the PS3 FP for free.

It was in the PS+ section at the time.

Yea, those bad bad people!

Yeah, because PS+ is free right? So it's like stealing, right?
Seriously...
The truth is that SEGA will receive probably more money from this PS+ deal with Sony than letting the game at the usual price, since nobody is buying it...
Gravy Boat
Member
By mistake, which people knew.
No they won't, it was a mistake. Sega won't get any money from it and Sony will probably revoke it. It's just sad to see people jumping overthemselves to take advantage of a pricing error.

That's probably what happen when the PS+ offering has been poor for several months in a row.

Actually, at least here on Gaf, people have been pretty happy with the past few months generally speaking.

Well I'm on PS+ since 4 years, I see a game as "FREE PS+" I download it...
I mean it's written as FREE on PS+, they even give FREE for PS+ Yakuza 5 avatar... But it's an error? At most, it's just that they pushed the button too early and it was supposed to be next month, they wouldn't press the "wrong button" on Yakuza 5 the game + Yakuza 5 the free avatar... Also they gave Yakuza 4 a while ago, giving the 5th wouldn't be surprising.
And devs are paid for games "given" on the PS+, there's a deal between Sony and games publishers.
Anyway the game is still downloading on my PS3.
