Dishonored 2 pre-order didn't upgrade my copy of Dishonored 1

I purchased Dishonored 1 through Steam when it came out.

I pre-ordered Dishonored 2 recently through Steam, and it warned me that I wouldn't get a second copy of the first game with my purchase. However, I see now that it gives you the Definitive Edition of the first game with your pre-order of the second game.

I never bought any of the DLC for the first game, so why did it not upgrade my game and give me the DLC?

You kind of answered your own question. When you bought Dishonored 2 you said it gave you a message about not receiving a second copy of Dishonored 1. When you take part in offers such as this if you own any form of the original copy you will not receive the second GOTY copy of it. Bethesda isn't lying since you do already own the game, so they are not giving you a second copy. It's kind of scummy I know but I don't think there is much you can do about it besides just buying the DLC separately.
