Saving hundreds of dollars by switching to piracy?
Priceless.

Steam should have an option to send feedback to publishers: “I didn’t buy this because of [select all that apply]”.
Yes! Inverted reviews! Love it!
There’s five horsemen here
The fifth one is a paid DLC horsemen
You get one for free
These should be called the “badges of shame”
They are already kind of yellow warning labels
Of all the good games hoarded by EA, I only bought Dragon Age Origins, on GOG.
And despite the low prices, i ain’t touching the Mass Effect series as long as they’re rooted like this.
Just because I’ve got nothing to hide doesn’t mean I’m an exhibitionist.

A couple of weeks ago the Mass Effect Trilogy was so cheap on Steam that it was hard to resist, so I pirated it. I’m already on Mass Effect 3, it’s been a while since I played the trilogy.
I bought mass effect legendary edition from epic last year, it was super cheap and I never played. I finally installed it a couple weeks ago and am playing the first game. It’s a great game, but the drm infrastructure is really frustrating.
To play the game, I need to:
Don’t click the desktop icon it installed for me, nothing will happen Start EA app Don’t click the icon on the side, nothing will happen Click on library Click on game Ignore the helpful hint to use the icon on the side to save time Click on launch This starts the epic store This then starts the mass effect launcher Click launch on the game I want While the game is loading, the epic store will now steal focus back and I need to alt-tab back to the game Now I can play the game and it works fine
It really makes me think about pirating the other games instead of continuing this bs. Plus I should be able to then play them on Linux instead of needing to boot into Windows to play.
Gaben was absolutely correct in saying that piracy is a service problem.
I’m no pirate, but if I was, I would pirate Mass Effect 3.
It’s definitely one of the titles that makes me feel like EA is handing out eye patches.
Am I misunderstanding that it’s single player?
Why in the world can’t I just give them some cash and get to play it offline without spyware?!
I know who will let me play Mass Effect 3 offline without spyware.
And they be good hearted folk, once ye get to know 'em. Aye!
The last line is gold
Steam has a warning about kernel level anti-cheat?
*Haven’t bought anything, but single player indie games for some time.
Don’t forget Denoovo, that one’s gotta be at least a ponyrider of the apocalypse
I would lose interest in the game entirely lol
It’s the same for Mass Effect. Every time I get ideas and want to fetch the games on Steam, I’m reminded why I didn’t until now
So we have kernel level anti cheat so won’t they start flagging each other?
