Is there any hope that Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station can be made availible for download again?

Why is Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station DLC for PC unavailable?  I ALREADY own ALL  three games and thus have NO desire to buy the trilogy pack, I just want this ONE DLC.  Every time I try to find it via EA, BioWare, or Origin I find it isn't available.  Does anyone have the files in their possession and would be willing to share?  I preferably would like to just buy it from EA, but for some reason they don't want to sell it.  Can anyone help?

    So I received this mail.

    "My name is Brett and I am the specialist reviewing your case today. 
    Sorry for the time it has taken to get back with you on this, It has been a wild few weeks around here with the launch of the next gen consoles and games.

    I have confirmed that for whatever reason we no longer have this dlc available and do not have any information on when we might have it back.

    Sorry its taken this long for the information to reach you."

    I had purchased it a while back and it is still available through Origin (their version of Steam)

    I do not think so. Colud you provide a link, please?

    Anyway I do not consider this thread solved. I've contacted EA's support and they've told me to wait for a mail with specific instructions.

    Did someone receive a solution?

    No, it hasn't, I just prematurely threw in the towel.

    I have been wondering that myself.

    Essentially, it takes four play-throughs of the game to get all basic acheivements (the fourth to make L60).

    What upsets me, even though I bought the two DLC's ('Pinnacle Station' and 'Bring Down the Sky') with Bioware points, I cannot re-install either after the magnificent EA support decided they weren't worth supporting. These should be freely available by now.

    EA CSR sucks badly. I had to quit SW:ToR because of that, even though I had to buy SW:ToR off E-Bay to become a Founder as an Australian, since EA wouldn't make the game availalble at release to Australian customers. We weren't a big enough consumer market. Furthermore, Australians (and others) were't told until a couple of weeks before how limited the game release was going to be.

    CSR was little more than a soft community manager, no ability to promote problems to developer's, who were all dedicated to new content. Many SW:ToR acheivements were simply unacheivable due to poor coding... exploration and datacron acheivemnts didn't register, and when you pointed that out, CSR simply said "that will be fixed in future patches" and it just never happened.

    Does anyone remember the disaster Microsoft made with Asheron's Call 2? Probably not. A completely brilliant game that never flew thanks to the idiotic Microsoft insistence that only certain limited set of countries were allowed to use their credit cards to access the game back in the 1990's, The original Asheron's Call was a serious contender to EverCrack. Asheron's Call 2 (Vivendi) had skill trees, had in-game videos. Well before it's time. Marketing dicks **bleep** that one up majorly, possibly deliberately. I beta'd that game, and I still think it was a World of Warcraft before that game was imagined.

    PS... after three hours I'm still waiting for the 5-10 minute reply from the EA Customer Experience.

  • EA, please make BDtS and Pinnacle Station available again. Like you made DLC for DA:O and DA2 downloadable through Origin rather than social.bioware.com.

  • mystery solved, when added to origin via code, it will eventually pop up in your my games list. big shepard with a gun and says pinnacle station, not in  the normal dlc area in game details

    Can you rephrase this, I'm having trouble understanding you. I redeemed key months ago and I don't see it in my games list on origin. Maybe a couple screencaps to show the rest of what you're trying to say.

  • I just got it.  Through the Help Center I spoke with a support specialist, gave him some basic security information and he added it to my account..  Took about 5 minutes of my time.
