Buying a game from steam store and using dlc code
Basically I bought Civilization V pack long ago so that pack didn't contain brave new world dlc. Now I got dlc code and when I try to activate dlc code it tells me to activate main game first eventho I already have Civilization V at my library. So what's wrong here? Do I have to activate main game with code too if I want to add DLC via code? It makes no sense.
