Crackdown 2: Project Sunburst bites the dust, early adopters outraged

Oh Crackdown 2: Project Sunburst, we hardly knew ye! Well we don't think we'll be getting any alone time with it anymore. The innovative but troubled Xbox Live game was originally pulled from the Marketplace due to bugs and complaints, but now the dev team has come out and said they've decided to end the project altogether. They are offering anyone who bought Project Sunburst in the last 60 days a refund, but apparently a lot of gamers who bought the game earlier are more than a little upset with this move.

According to users posting their opinions on the Facebook wall of the developer, the servers that host the game have been turned off along with the game being pulled, which means that anyone trying to play the game (whether they bought it earlier or more recently) won't be able to because it's an online-only title. Others say the gamae has been broken from its launch with broken Achievements and other bugs. Here's a few of the comments:

I think everyone should get a refund since it was broken since day one. You couldn't get all the achievements even if you wanted to.

Why are only people how bought it 60 days ago getting a refund, no one can use it anymore because there is no server. Refund everyone or put the game back up, the bug was nothing!

 i want my money back! i even cannot play the game anymore. i bought the game in april 2011 .... fu microsoft...

The game is literally dead space on their phone and the developer has yet to say exactly why they decided to cancel the game. We're planning to contact the team to verify whether the server shutdown is true or not, but if it is then not outright refunding everyone or at least keeping a smaller server up for those to play the game on is highly questionable.
