I've seen this one at this level of discount more than once before, and every time I've refused because it requires not only for you to have an EA account, it requires to have the Origin client always running in the background. For no good reason.
Last time I tried to play Mass Effect (through Game Pass) it told me I need to install the EA App. However I couldn't install the app because "you have to uninstall Origin" first.
So I uninstalled Origin and all games I had installed through Origin. Still I couldn't install the app till I restarted the PC. Then I had to login to EA via browser to verify my account. Then I could login in the new app and then I could play the game.After my game pass ran out, I looked at the Steam page of Mass Effect to buy it, but Steam said that Origin (not the EA app) is required. At that point I was done with EA games. Maybe it was an outdated info. I don't care. I surely would've got the game running eventually, but I just don't care enough.
And don't get me started about the Ubisoft launcher, which doesn't seem to understand that I don't want to run games as an admin user.
Is the EA thing different from when it was first on steam? I swear I played 1 and 2 back in the day without needing to install origin. 3 wasn't on steam for a long time and when it finally was you needed origin but I could've sworn 1 and 2 didn't need it before.
Maybe you claimed it as booty and then forgot. Or maybe I claimed it as booty and then forgot.
I just checked the steam store pages for 1 and 2 and it looks like you still don't need EA. Apparently they started with 3, so that, Andromeda, and the legendary edition have the external drm
it requires not only for you to have an EA account, it requires to have *the Origin client always running in the background*. For no good reason.
The Origin client only needs to be running in the background while you’re playing the game. This is how EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, and a few others handle DRM - I’ll take it over shit like Denuvo any day.
