Do you also go into a shop for computer parts,
buy the new and overpriced stuff
and then complain a month later because it's worth only half anymore ?
*shakeshead*
You are not special. You never were.
You have the same value as everybody else. None.
You bought it for reasons you probably don't even understand yourself
and now you're complaining about not being part of a small "special" group anymore.
RealityCheck:
You never were special.
You never will be special.
You didn't even see it coming.
You fell for the oldest trick in the book.
It was obvious.
Blame yourself.
Damn bruh, tell us how you really feel. 
Seriously, all this reminds me of the SOCOM Map debacle...way back during the SOCOM II era, Playstation Magazine did a three issue series that had each issue sporting a disc with a new SOCOM map on it. There was no other way to get the map, you had to buy the three issues to get it. Now, if memory serves correctly, each issue was $7, bring ing the total to $21.
A month or so later, they released all three maps on one disc in the PSM for $7.
Fast forward to about 2007 and SOCOM:Combined Assault...once more, they released three map packs, each one containing three maps. I'm a bit hazy on this one, but I think each pack was $9-10. Jump forward a few months, to when they went and re-released all three map packs again...for free.
In other word's I spent nearly $50 buying something that would be free down the road. Now, it was this little debacle that taught me that when a game developer is releasing something that is going to cost a pretty penny, you damn well better run in the other direction.
$230 worth of PLEX for a virtual shirt...wow.

Really? Sweet, going to go get me one right now. Oh, and OP got hosed. Hard.
I think F'd in the A is far more a fitting way to say it.
Did Hilmar kiss you on the back of the neck at least?
