Now I am blocked from the incremental updates which according to the update notes include an array of important bug fixes simply because I didn't buy MainStage from the app store? This is completely unacceptable. Dirty, rotten behavior.

Bit of a dick move on Apple's part. MainStage was a nice bonus in Logic, but I'm not paying $30 for it.
