Andromeda free* on Origin (*through EA / Origin Access Vault)

Man and I thought I just got the deal of a lifetime by buying a used physical ps4 copy for $9

The news are yesterday's, but thanks anyway, Cap'n.

Depends on what they're saying now doesn't it?  Not about to run to their sites to find out. 

Here's one example though of the sorry state of gaming media - not the typos in this article:  www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/653027/Xbox-One-massive-new-FREE-GAME-how-to-download-it-RIGHT-NOW-mass-effect-andromeda



Note:  I haven't altered anything in the cut and paste quote I took directly from the article (that is, they may decide to edit their errors after the fact, but this is how I found it).

The biggest error though is in presenting us fans who wanted DLC as somehow still "wildly hoping" for DLC.  They clearly announced there would be no DLC (even after Schrier and others assured us the EA would never make such a final announcement on the matter).  When EA made that announcement, we certainly stopped "wildly hoping" for DLC (if in fact just stating that one would like to see some DLC constitutes "wildly hoping" - I don't think it does).

Time these sorry reporters actually caught up with the news and stopped grinding the same old axes.

Despite what the people on this forum want to think, Schreier was quite accurate concerning what he said about Mass Effect. Shouldn't come as a surprise though, he's been quite accurate in general concerning predictions and inside information on a few games. He's obviously got some solid sources.

No numbers on sales though, which is nothing new.

"Mass Effect Andromeda is now free on Origin provided you're subscribed and paying monthly".

I'm not sure the word free means what the writer of that article seems to think it means.

They only remain playable so long as you're subscribed.

Sure. Will you pay me for playing the Witcher while at it?

That might get me back for a second playthrough, all things considered.

Witcher is the most awarded game of all time, you should pay double for it and be grateful for having the honor of playing one of the best games in history. 

You remind me how far we've fallen as a species with that statement.

This statement reminds me of how far we've fallen as a species. Fighting over video games? How lame.

Can someone edit the thread title to "Andromeda free on EA Access"? suikoiden doesn't seem to understand the difference between Origin and EA Access, and as written the title indicates that ME:A is in the Origin free games program, which simply isn't true
