Sad day, I had forgotten there was a distinction. Can't say I recall why I shelled out full price so long in advance now, if not for DLC. I know some people are big fans of the early-access thing, but I found the game entirely unplayable until release, and am not into the technical side of game development, so I guess I made a huge mistake in supporting early.
Next time I'll make sure to wait until months after release to take advantage of huge steam sales, I guess.
