Didn't EA shut down Origin or at least make it optional?
Remember Valve is the company and Steam is the storefront/launcher.
Epic is the company, EGS is the storefront/launcher.
EA is the company, Origin is (was?) the storefront/launcher.
Technically no. EA now just calls it "The EA App"
If Mass Effect Legendary Edition actually included ME3's multiplayer I might've considered installing Origin again.
Nope. Star Wars Squadrons (which I got from Epic, BTW) required me to download and install Origin first. I'd be salty as fuck about that if all parties involved hadn't already guaranteed that it was a game that I was never going to pay for anyway.
