So I just purchased the bundle pack to get away from my steam license (horrible decision getting the game through there).
And apparently, the base game is locked out until the expansion is released.

WTF?!

So, again, because I took a perfectly valid choice in how I purchased the game, I'm getting screwed over.
Why am I not allowed to activate anything for the game until the expansion comes out?

I have purchased many (honestly far too many) games over the years, and I have never experienced the bungled mess that is trying to get this damn expansion.

At this point, I think I'll just cut my losses on the money, I have lost interest in playing since Sony has seen fit to make it as difficult as possible for me to be able to.
