Turtle Rock have announced that Evolve is now a free to play game on PC as of today. Maybe console will go free to play too if it seems viable after testing on the PC. They also plan to keep developing for it, which makes sense if it's going to be a free to play game.
If you where one of the few people who actually bought it, you'll get a "Founders" status associated with your account, keep everything you own and be rewarded with free gifts and special access - which probably means early access to new weapons/characters or cheaper access to them.
This is probably how it should've launched. The devs are blaming (in their words) "a DLC shitstorm" on why people got bummed out about the game at launch.
I'll probably give it a shot. Evolve sounded like a great idea mudded by a poor DLC plan and the requirement for steady teamwork. It was difficult to convince 3 other people to go in on the game when it launched.
