This is a common EA practice, probably in hopes that more will buy DLC to be able to fully play the game. It is pathetic. Same thing with Battlefield3. Splitting up the game in several different versions. Making it hard for both players and server owners. This to feels like a way to "force" people to buy premium versions, season passes etc.
But the way it is handled in SC2013 is extraordinarly bad, three release day DLCs are splitting up the playerbase so hard.
Yep, took me a good 15 minutes to find a game I could actually join last night.
I really have to wonder if they even tried this stuff out or just blindly released it? I can't imagine how it's good in any world just to list hundreds of unjoinable games and make the user having to keep adding more games to their list on the off chance they finally find one they can join.
Christ, playing Quake on Gamespy back in the 90's I had an easier time finding servers and joining games. This is just plain stupid.
