@draconiamA payed full price for the Andromeda, and I dont regret it. It's a game with many problems, but overall, I loved it. I don't think BioWare was lazy with the LE, because they worked hard on ME1:LE, the problem is again this: the publisher wanted more money, so they added to the package ME2-3, but they not granted enough resources and time for a proper work, so... that's because ME2-3:LE is feels "lazy".
They wanted a great version I think, but I don't think BioWare can function properly under the EA's umbrella. The publishers do not respect the quality games and the fans, sadly, because they not make money on fans, they make money on the crowd, and on the 4 million sales. Most of the LE's 4 million buyer will never reach to the half of the ME1, I think.
