While players can still enjoy the general advantages to owning the collection on Steam, such as the community and Trading Cards, in terms of just playing the game they might as well have just bought it on EA’s Origin. Alternatively, they could instead get Mass Effect Legendary Edition on EA Play, although it is currently only available with the more expensive EA Play Pro subscription. Essentially, players will be running two clients at once. While the requirement is not made completely obvious on the Legendary Edition Steam page, it does clearly state on the side that “EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required.” This means that not only is Origin required to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition even if bought and owned through Steam, but the Origin client will also run in the background while playing the game. Anyone who buys the Mass Effect collection’s Steam version will have to install Origin and have a full EA account to play it. Unfortunately for anyone on PC planning to purchase Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Steam who hoped they could bypass EA’s own client, Origin is a requirement for the Mass Effect collection on PC.
