They are pulling the reverse Hello Games. Sony's contract with Hello Games (No Man's Sky) forced them to ship an unfinished game, met with hundreds of thousands of bad reviews, but they turned it around by not only delivering what was originally promised, but continuously adding huge DLC level free updates to the game, effectively nulling the effects of their contract with Sony. Arrowhead Studios shipped an incredible game, but ignored Sony's contractual requirements to ride the wave of sales, and is now being hit with the effects after finally enforcing what they signed up for.

Did you buy it on PC? I know at the time, sony was offering refunds on the ps4, which is uncommon. I don't know about steam's policies at the time though. Probably similar to helldivers now, where if you've passed the play time limit you are automatically denied but can re-request a review for manual approval

No, I didn't buy this game because it looked like a boring wave shooter with meme buzzwords and was too expensive. 20$ game tops in my eyes.
