8 years later and it's 45 Euro to get ME3 complete, and that's *with* the basegame half price. What the hell.
And of course no complete 'bundle' anywhere.

There are work arounds. Also new games coming to Steam and anything EA seem to not treat in a "legacy" way, don't require origin - eg C&C Remaster and supposedly Apex when that releases.
As far as choosing Steam over Origin, I'd bet every time of Valve adding more value to its existing library through additional features, than Origin as a provider. That's been consistent year over year

You still need Origin, no different than when Ubi had their games on Steam.
I'd only go through that nonsense for Apex...so where the hell is it?

Well, people should simply NOT buying those games at those prices.
If they do EA will know they can get away with it so they won't change their policy.
Otherwise there's a chance they might increase the discount or lower the base price for those titles. Who needs remasters when you can sell a 8 years old game for 45€ with a discount with no additional work.

Yeah, what they're doing with ME3 and its DLC is pretty crazy. I'll just wait until the DLC goes on sale.
I'm def jumping in on Andromeda tho, since that game never got DLC.
Btw, I'm only planning on rebuying the ME and DA games since it always bugged me not having the complete collections on Steam. I'm fine having everything else just on Origin.

Remember:
There's a ME Trilogy remaster incoming, so if you haven't bought any of the games yet, wait a bit more...

Only for "legacy" titles. See C&C Remaster, uses no origin and lots of Steam specific features. Apex is supposedly the same
Do we know if those remasters will release on PC? The remasters might end up being just the PC versions at max settings.
Yeah, I would definitely buy Steam over origin, I just saw family sharing and was asking because I would buy some EA titles on Steam (that I otherwise wouldn't buy) if family sharing worked, since it gives four other people I know access to the game.
is it really that confirmed? It wouldn't surprise me, I bought the DLC bundles a couple of weeks ago
That's the other thing. The old version of ME1 on Origin got replaced with a new one that includes the DLC (Pinnacle Station and Bring Down the Sky). Will the Steam version get the same treatment? And what about the DLC for ME2?
Are you saying EA will pass out the chance of selling 3 games on a bundle as new? 😄
Being serious, this is mostly for the ones who didn't buy the trilogy. If there's a chance they can get everything in one purchase, they should take it. I bet by EA Play, we will have an answer to this.
Did they fucking include the EXTENDED CUT for ME3 in the separate DLC bundle instead of the base game??
WHAT THE HELL EA!?
WHAT THE HELL EA!?
Do stats and unlocks for something like BF4 work with the Steam version or would I be starting from square one?
Huh.
The why the hell is it listed in the DLC Bundle? Goddamit EA.
So how to do the games work if you already own it on Origin? The DLC is tied to your EA account right?
For Mass Effect 2 I bought the DLC on sale through Origin and it works on my Steam version so I'm just wondering if Mass Effect 3 will work the same. I moved into my new apartment and don't have internet so I can't check myself atm

I don't know if Family Share works for new EA games. All of the ones I own and my friends own are older (for obvious reasons) and they show up. But they also don't require Origin to start so... ?
"Sale" prices are higher then normal. Maybe that's why EA put them on Steam? To try and get more money for their games?
You can't play Titanfall 1 because a hacker took control of the servers and is running a bot that disconnects you as soon as you connect.
Yeah, they jacked up the base prices of their games across a lot of regions quite recently.
The only important thing is that makes do right by the trilogy remaster.
Are you really surprised? They ripped an essential character out of the game (Javik) to sell it as DLC separately... at launch.
One step closer to having EA/Origin Access through Steam...then I can cancel my current Origin Access sub, and re-up through Steam and not have to pay for these games individually. Especially once the games aren't on sale anymore and shoot up to full price.
I would 100% pay full price for a Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster though...if ALL the DLC for ALL the games were included. ME2 in particular I remember having all kinds of bullshit pre-order bonuses that were never released after launch. ME3 too.

Yes, it has been unplayable since last year. It started as someone joining games with a hacked profile that crashed the game so people had to play private games, then the hacker found a way to join private games as well. And now they found a way to just prevent playing entirely.
