Same here. I own this on console and PC, bought the DLC back when it was points and the DLC authentication has gotten more broken over the years on PC and they absolutely should have offered people who own everything a discount at least on PC- console is understandable because much more work. The DLC authentication issues with Mass Effect 2 are the worst of the trilogy and should have long been fixed, not become a worse problem with every reinstall. Various issues went unpatched for years.
Cheap move and I'll match it by buying on Steam. I will still get a copy in my Origin library I can run without Steam like I can Jedi Fallen Order, EA will just lose 30% of the price to Steam and I'll get to take screencaps with ease. I know punishing them would be just waiting but since a friend said I was easily exploited by anything Mass Effect, I can at least make it sting a little.
Yours truly,
A Mass Effect fan who is currently wearing merch, you know like the sort she's happy to buy alongside a Legendary edition release- the kind of fans who are highly skeptical of an official sequel to the trilogy as just another tri coloured knife in Shepard's back and aren't going to preorder the new Mass Effect game without something more than nostalgia set a hundred years in the future.
I've bought the trilogy with all the DLC on Origin since June 2020 because it was cheaper to do so, so this feels especially *. I'll also match the move by buying Steam, not just because it gives less money to EA but also it should make it easier to play on a controller.
Yes very unfair for Origin Mass Effect 1,2,3 Owner especially Steam Mass Effect 3 owner get 17% and we just EA Play 10% -_- oh wait what is with EA Play on Steam and Mass Effect 3 owners? 27% I guess -_-
Honestly, if price is bothering you that much, then simply wait a year or so and let it go on sale for bunches off and buy it then. I know that I am kinda interested in FarCry 6, but not all that much after FC5 and what I have seen, so it is on the wait until it is cheap list. If you have to play a game on release, is 10 bucks, or a meal out at a fast food restaurant when not eating the value menus really that big a deal?? Yeah, it would be nice, but I also think Steam is offering it only to people who have bought ME3 within the last few months....about how long it has been on Steam, and thus kinda a kick back to people who bought a game just before something better comes out which includes the game. I know I have had ME3 since release, and I don't really think I need a kickback on it since I have owned and played it through.
