Det er måske ikke den store overraskelse, men EA har meddelt, at PC-versionen af Mass Effect 3 ligesom Battlefield 3 vil kræve Origin, og derfor ikke vil dukke op på Steam.
Det fortæller Bioware i et indlæg på deres forum:
Origin is required for the PC versions of Mass Effect 3, both physical and digital. Mass Effect 3 will require a one time, single authorization for the single player game. There is no limit to the number of installs. Playing Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer will require a constant connection.
