According to an advertisement on the site for Origin, EA's attempt at a Steam competitor, the Deluxe Edition of Mass Effect 3 is available now available for pre-order. This exclusive Deluxe Edition offers the N7 Arsenal Pack, the completely unexplained Robotic Dog, and the inevitable Squadmate Alternate Costume pack.
Expect to spend $79.99 on the Deluxe Edition, and $59.99 on the standard edition for your pre-order."

One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

If the expand your service into something great by then. I might buy it!
hmm the regular version anyway.. $80 nah!
Pulling all their top selling games into being "exclusive on origin" is the only way they can build its user base.
Of course the whole point for consumers is that no one wants origin in the first place. So its back to the same old game, do you submit to their will or refuse and buy retail.
Lol I don't think charging people an extra $20 for some poor in-game extra content is really going to win people over to your service EA.
I don't use steam, but still I find this type of manipulation unacceptable. It is time for fans to start saying no to unfair exclusive deals. If nobody buys them, EA (and their like) might get the message and rethink their crappy strategies.
