You clearly don't use steam pal. Once you've bought any MOW title on steam, it downloads, and they send you the CD-Key (or you view it by right clicking the game... You login to gamespy and a pop-up appears asking for the CD-Key, entering your own details here binds the CD-Key to the account.
If they are willing to release the game with as many issues, this 'special edition' none-sense requiring paying extra to do things that should be included, and half the features they promised on the pre-purchase (steam) information, then that is more than a chance I and many others are prepared to give them. No patch can fix that.
