Legendary edition is one of the few good remasters that have been done. Yes there is drm and promotion garbage, and I’d say be hesitant about it if I were paying full price.
For 90% off for an opportunity to play one of the best gaming series of all time? Just go for it

Wait, so even though it’s on Steam, it will install Origin?
Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You wish it was origin, imo it was actually decent. EA now has a new launcher, a much worse one, why the hell they spend dev time creating some worse still boggles my mind

Yes. That’s why I’m still not buying EA games to this day. Or Ubisoft for that matter.

Yep. Origin and ME3's exclusivity was exactly the last straw for me when it came to EA and what caused them to be on my boycott list ever since. People keep saying we should "encourage" the company by buying the stuff the do right, but I just don't see any effort in that regards and I also don't see how that makes up for all the shit they have pulled over the last couple decades. They ruined so many games, franchises and studios, so why should I rewards them with my money? It's up to EA to make some proper concessions and do better first, and then we'll see whether they can win me back as a customer or not.

I’ve been sailing for their games and Ubisoft for years. Ubisoft’s PC launch of AC2 was so bad I’ve refused to buy anything that requires Uplay.
There were tons of people (myself included) who couldn’t play AC2 for 3 weeks at launch because Uplay account issues. Then it required you to be online to save progress. But their own servers kept going down without warning or any kind of indication. I played the opening couple hours of AC2 at least 3 times because of my saves being lost. Which at that point was a month after release. And I gave up. Never finished.
So fuck EA and Ubisoft. The alternative options to acquire their games end up being the better user experience.
