    Don’t be like me and buy this on sale, everyone!

    I have never looked at “incorporates third party” part of the Steam page and have now paid for it.

    Until they learn that the consumers chose Steam, because they like Steam, and stop trying to incorporate their third party BULLSHIT, just pirate the game and enjoy the best damn Sci-fi opera I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing.

    (ME3 still doesn’t sit well with me, but oh well)

    Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required.

    I’m good thanks

      Yep. Origin and ME3’s exclusivity was exactly the last straw for me when it came to EA and what caused them to be on my boycott list ever since. People keep saying we should “encourage” the company by buying the stuff the do right, but I just don’t see any effort in that regards and I also don’t see how that makes up for all the shit they have pulled over the last couple decades. They ruined so many games, franchises and studios, so why should I rewards them with my money? It’s up to EA to make some proper concessions and do better first, and then we’ll see whether they can win me back as a customer or not.

        You wish it was origin, imo it was actually decent. EA now has a new launcher, a much worse one, why the hell they spent dev time creating something worse still boggles my mind

          Logitech did this years ago, I still prefer the Logitech gaming software over ghub. Ghub fucks up all the time. So fucking annoying

          Yea, that sucks. I remember boycotting Origin, when it came out. But I recall that EA eventually put their games back on Steam?

            They did. But they all still need Origin. After you launch through Steam you get kicked over to Origin to also login there.

    Legendary edition is one of the few good remasters that have been done. Yes there is drm and origin/ea play garbage, and I’d say be hesitant about it if I were paying full price.

    For 90% off for an opportunity to play one of the best gaming series of all time? Just go for it
