It's pretty obvious to me that they never intended for the $14 to include the base game. They'd never sell it that cheap. This is just a colossal fuckup. No one working for the company with any power to make decisions knows how to solve this either. It's clear they should have explained the error, then given everyone who purchase it the base game for free. Then maybe add some humor about how for those who missed their chance to snag it at this price, don't worry because it won't be the last mistake we make. Voila. Happy fanbase, probably more sales, etc... But this sort of thinking requires White people in charge.
