Lol, they mugged MS right off getting them to pay for this on Gamepass then didn't they.

I'd imagine this was the plan from the get-go or at least a consideration. I don't think they swindled anyone necessarily, they weren't banking on sales with it being on Gamepass, so this makes perfect sense IMO.

They announced that anyone who bought the game will get in-game reimbursements and anyone on Gamepass gets the Ultimate Edition upgrade for free, so that atleast there's that.

Not the users, but I assume MS paid them something for putting it on GP. Unless they just treated that as a de facto exclusivity deal.
