Of course they did, after I broke down and bought them all individually last year. At least I saved a bit of money by using the Access discount. :)

Wish they'd make a 4th game in the series.

Too soon? :)

I picked and chose the DLC I wanted. i could not afford them all and some held zero interest to me. The ones I did get were great. Really loved the Citadel one for 3.

Well, it's a start. Now if they would throw in the base game with it instead of for an extra $20, we'd have a fair price for a GOTY version of a game that is eight years old.

EA really screwed the pooch on this. 3 years ago would have been the time to bundle these up and try to get a few new players into the universe. The engine is so old now that I just don't know how many veterans will go back and buy them at this price. I don't want to spend $55 on Mass Effect. I'm probably maxed out at $30, and that would be a stretch.

I mean, they're not producing new DLC that this purchase helps to offset. The revenue stream from this DLC has to have been almost flat for the past few years.

Yeah, after having bought every piece of single player Mass Effect DLC (the actual content ones, not weapon packs) in existence, I'm not really in the market for a bundle. I think they missed the boat on this one.

At those prices they sunk the boat and started swimming.

I must be the only person who likes Andromeda. I think it is pretty good.

I do as well, but this is about EA screwing all possible customers - past, present, and future.

I might pay those prices for GOTY versions of each game now. I'm definitely not going to lay out whatever they're still charging for the base games (probably $50/60) and THEN pay another 30 for the DLC.
