Both publishers had stodgy systems that sought to entrench players deeper into their respective ecosystems - EA's was a pointless currency for Bioware RPGs, Ubisoft's was an online-based DRM and server infrastructure. But instead of doing something bonkers like making that DLC no longer available to play or download (*ahem* Ubisoft), EA has made all DLC - expansions and all - for those games free for everyone.įinally, finally I might get round to playing the unloved but apparently underrated Dragon Age 2 now that I have it with all the 'bits' (because if you can't play the game in 'Ser Isaac Armor' - a mediaeval twist on the Dead Space protagonist's outfit - why play it at all?). EA announced that as of October 1, it would be getting rid of the crappy Bioware Points currency that it used for players to buy DLC for games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, and Dragon Age 2. I've spent more time than I would have like these past couple of weeks lambasting Ubisoft for their abandonment of online components in some of their games, then their revocation of access to single-player games (before having to amend that latter condemnation the following day after the sneaky sods amended the Steam page to say that in fact the game will still be accessible).Īfter that rollercoaster, it was nice to see another of the big publishers do something fan-friendly in response to shutting down one of its outmoded ecosystems.
