I have Mass Effect 1 on Steam, Mass Effect 2 on disc and am torn on where to get Mass effect 3.
Origin offers all the pre-order DLC if you buy it directly from EA. This would be a digital download, which is fine even though it isn't part of Steam. My main concern is what I have heard about digital purchases on Origin. Do they expire? Are they not permanently tied to my account? I don't want to buy it if in 2 years they don't recognise that I bought it any more. I can get it for the same price on disc, but without the extra DLC. If I buy the disc however, my game will be safe and will only be invalid if EA shut down their authorization servers.
So, any insight in to which I should buy?
UPDATE
My question has been answered, and after a bit of research I have found the evidence, so I am posting an article from EA here just so everyone knows. It is in the terms and conditions of Origin, but this clause is only for inapropriate accounts.
