Black screen of : money down the toilet

Well, got my new Crysis 3 "Hunter Edition" the other day but having one tiny problem... the game won't run!!!

I go to launch the game, I sign into Origin, then the small startup screen pops up , then the screen goes black with the pointer frozen and I have to do a manual restart of my computer just to exit it.

The game will only run if I first disable my AMD Crossfire in the CCC.

If you have Radeon Pro software on your machine it won't even launch the game at all if that's running.

I have a $2000 machine with the best of everything in it and I still can't play this game without issues. This all sadly reminds of the months and months of graphics related propblems they had when they released Crysis 2. I should have known better than to blow another $60 and foolishly think they would have tested this game before releasing it to the public. It's really a shame you can never get a refund on this defective garbage. The video game industry is like having a license to steal: they can knowingly put out a defective product and you as the consumer have no recourse or way to recoup your money.
