• Mass Effect 3 won't make it to Steam

    It looks like we're stuck with another Origin exclusive for the third instalment of the massively popular Mass Effect franchise. Being released on March 8, BioWare has made the announcement that the game will be available through EA's Origin service and a number of third-party retailers, but due to "restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to deliver patches and other downloadable content" we won't see it on Steam.

    "We are intent on providing Mass Effect to players with the best possible experience no matter where they purchase or play their game, and are happy to partner with any download service that does not restrict our ability to connect directly with our consumers," said BioWare's Chris Priestly on the BioWare Social Network.

      Wow.

      After the trouble Ive had with their Origin store, I will just be getting mine from a retailer.
      Either that, or play it on the 360.
