I believe the last thing i have seen from origin access was Battlefield 1, with origin access you could play one week earlier.

I don't know what it is about origin, but it is somehow vaguely annoying and just inconvenient. But maybe it is not the Origin, it's the idea of having to buy DLCs and downloading every stupid tiny little thing separately. But, I do not play multiple games, so I will be buying Andromeda regardless, so might as well pay to Origin, because, well, I honestly am not really savvy in the way of the modern options. Plus, being a Canadian, our options normally are very limited compared to the States to start with.

Lol, what I would prefer, is going to a store and buying a darned game-in-a-box with no codes and downloads and the rest of the headaches.

I would prefer to buy at a store a box with no codes, but that simply is no option any more. All online options are equally good/bad and sick in snooping beyond belief.

Assuming that I can apply the 10% off to ME:A's purchase then that alone would cover the cost of buying Origin Access for the 1 month I would have it active.

So probably.

Actually I might do this anyway just so I can play Mirror's Edge Catalyst without having to buy it, since that's one of the vaulted games.

Well, it's like I said in one of their surveys. I don't buy enough stuff from them. Look, the way that I see it, 10% of $100 (the cost of ME:A) is $10. That's enough for two months. That's about all I plan on buying from them next year. Maybe if they come out some other RPG games or quick short co-op games (read as not being e-sports compatible), I might. But until then? Meh.

I bought exactly ONE game through Origin: DAI.
(Technically two if you count Jade Empire as a freebie.)

Next year I will add exactly one more game to the list: MEA.

I stronly dislike having to put up with Origin just for Bioware. And I probably won't buy right upon release anyway. So emphatically: NO!

Edit: Oops, forgot I bought Unravel on sale three days ago (I keep forgetting about it because I never even bother to log in). Still my answer remains: hell no.

Me getting it on Access depends on several things:

1. Whether or not I decide to get a digital copy over a physical one.

2. Whether or not I can find a pre-order purchase price of sub-$50 or $60.

3. Whether or not Access causes me to exceed the MSRP of the standard edition or the Deluxe in order to play the game.

4. Whether or not I can find a reliable VPN for free or for a cost that does not cause the combined Access, game, and VPN purchase to exceed the MSRP of the standard or Deluxe.

If I can, say, get the standard edition, Origin Access, and a VPN to unlock the game early after I burn through the Access hours for $60 or less, then I'll get Access. If not, I'll skip it.

The answer is: no. As a matter of fact, I'll rather avoid connecting to ME:A related web services, including this forum, in the period between the early access and the official launch date. There are too many trolls on the web who will totally spoil the game only to enjoy trolling people. Besides, I'm angry with BioWare because of the delayed launch date in Europe. Why that? Trolls from North America will have two more days for trolling European gamers! (This is only a rant from a frustrated guy; ignore it!)
About Origin: I bought many games using it, and I never caught that pesky ransomware, but, anyway, I don't buy so much from them to justify getting Origin Access.

I actually voted yes, but have since learned that DAI only gave you 6 hours to play. In that case, it's not worth it to me compared to just setting the VPN to the earliest possible releasing country (usually Korea) a couple of days later.

Have to agree with the Arishok here I don't buy enough games from EA to make it worth while and I can't afford to take that kind of loss on a regular basis given it's a subscription thing. Plus if I'm in the middle of something I'd likely not get around to playing it anyway so I don't mind waiting till the proper release date.

If you want to play Mass Effect Andromeda as early as possible a 10-hour trial version will be available from March 17th via EA Access and Origin Access for Xbox One and PC players respectively.
From this article

So I am thinking about it, just for the one month, and canceling on the 18th.
