I sure hope EA will love selling no PC copies.

STEAM is restrictive? Compared to EA? This makes my stomach hurt from the laughter.

Just because it's not on Steam doesn't mean that it's suddenly not better on PC!

God damn you, EA!

Still getting the N7 Edition for PC though. I love Bioware too much to let my seething hatred for Electronic Arts dilute my enthusiasm.

EDIT: Wait, I'm buying it retail anyway, so this doesn't even affect me. It does make it rather less likely that there'll be a way to disinfect it of that nasty Origin virus though.

Yeah but it means that you have to support EA and Origin to play the game.

Honestly for this one time I totally support people who'll buy the console version.

Aren't all major EA games not going to Steam these days due to their downloadable service? Well, this was always gonna be a console game first and foremost, anyway.

...Uh, EA probably makes the same amount of money if you buy a retail PC game as a retail console game so it's the same either way.

Of course they'll get more money if you buy it directly through Origin, and that is what needs to be avoided.

Well damn guess I won't be playing it was planning to buy it during a steam sale. Though I still haven't played ME2 anyways. Hard to believe since I was so ridiculously hyped for the first one. Bioware is a pretty disappointing company now.

I think I'll walk 20 miles through the snow with no shoes and buy it at GameStop instead of getting it through Origin.

Well duh, now that they have Origin they will do anything to avoid Steam.

EA's excuse for this is that the way Steam DLC works, you need to have the DLC downloadable from Steam's servers or something. Which is pretty weird/dumb considering ME2 on Steam's DLC was just exe files that installed from the desktop. But whatever, they just needed a broad excuse to stop using Steam without looking like the villain.

This would be a valid point if the first game wasn't trash

So is it possible for someone who has ME2 on Steam to use their save data on the Origin version of ME3, or is everyone pretty much SOL

The save should be on your computer, yknow.

The Mass Effect save files are, by default, in your documents and not connected to Steam, so it shouldn't matter.

Anyway, I'll probably still get this for PC. Sucks that it's not Steam compatible, but I'll live.

Oh by the way, my gf has The Sims 3 retail, which was later updated so that it links to her Origin account (which....evolved, out of her EA account). But she doesn't actually have to launch Origin to run Sims 3. I dunno if this is going to be exactly the same since Mass Effect 3 is a new release, but it could be similar to that.

You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.
