Yes. You DID have a choice. You could have sued THEM for breach of contract, but you CHOSE to accept the contract revision.
Look, they took advantage of your naïveté, not getting what you believe to have been the original offer signed before you made the move, and that may be reprehensible, but YOU are going to be the one losing big time if they tell future employers you reneged on a contract that you signed.
Unless there is a safety issue involved, either pay off your contract or serve your contractual obligation. Either way, learn from this.
