Re: Why is all the Mass Effect series DLC still so much?

Well, apparently after FOUR YEARS and 2 months, you could finally get Bioware points at a 33% discount during the holidays. But of course, not from EA/Bioware, but from Gamestop. It still wasn't as good as the 50% discount Sony and M$ gives for PSN/XBL users, but at least they did something about this ridiculous scheme. I'll wait until Bioware points are at 50% off or abolished altogether, myself.

Also, during the holidays, you could get Dragon Age: Inquisition GOTY (including ALL DLC) for $29.99 on Origin. Meanwhile, in Biozzaro-world, Dragon Age II was selling for $19.99 on Origin. If you want all the DLC for it, that's $36.95. If you want both, it comes together to $56.94. So, let me get this straight...Bioware's latest and greatest could be had for a surprisingly reasonable $30, but if you want its predecessor that by this point, along with the DLC for it, almost 5 years old, Bioware/EA expects you to pay close to twice that?! Give me a break...

When Mass Effect: Andromeda comes out, I wouldn't be surprised at all if a similar situation develops where ME2 or ME3, along with their DLC, may well end up being more expensive. Games that came out almost six and four years ago now, respectively...

I am one of those people who checks in every once in a while to see if ME3 DLC finally got discounted so I would actually buy it.. but nope. It never happens.
Now when I checked today for the first time this year instead of a price drop the DLC price actually increased for me.... When I last checked (I think in December) 1200 Bioware points cost 12 euros and 1600 Bioware points cost 16 euros etc. Now 1200 Bioware points cost 15 euros and 1600 Bioware points cost 20 euros.
Is anyone else having the same thing happen to them? I mean, never dropping the price is already extremely customer unfriendly, but going as far as to increase the price for DLC for old games.. that is just special.
