It's dead, Jim.

That would be nice. Would be 1 less walled garden. Which would pressure Sony to do similar things too I would hope.

How about a commitment to being more pro-customer?

Paying for online to backup saves is a joke in 2024.

Pffft, suuure they learned something from this.

Just like they learned that forcing their account BS on PC is a great idea, especially for singleplayer games....

Oh, wait...

Sounds like EA wants to try 1 last nostalgia cash in before things go belly up for Bioware...

Yet another disingenuous headline I've seen saying this. It suggests that it is a big launch, when in reality it is a relatively tiny launch (when you factor out the very specific "Bioware on Steam" context). Especially when you consider they haven't done a day one launch on Steam in recent memory.

Comparing to other AAA games that have launched on Steam recently, this isn't even close to impressive. They should be well over half a million peak for how well known a franchise and studio this is...

After castrating DAV, I don't believe them for one second.

So, it's even further from what Dragon Age was. From dark fantasy to whatever this is.

Nice to know.

The more I see, the less DA it feels. And then this small detail just seems laughably lazy. Couldn't even bother having a classic enemy (with a toggle)...

Wait, they changed from 343 (a classic Halo reference) to just flat out saying Halo?

Oof.
