What alternative is that, exactly? There may not be a "free" alternative. Or maybe upgrading to PS4 is that "free" alternative for SE?

I mean, what you're saying make sense. It wouldn't be physically difficult for them to hand out a registration code for a different platform and let you download the PC version from their server, but there may be other reasons they are obligated to do this in such a way, or maybe from a business point-of-view they just really don't care if you play or not. I doubt it's the latter, though.
