    Wonder if there is one worse then Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

    Launch game on steam
    It opens EA Origin
    It then opens the Mass Effect LE launcher
    Now you get to pick which Mass Effect game you want to play.

      I’d say the many games that died when Games for Windows Live went down. Many of them got patches to make them work again (officially), but many games just became permanently unplayable (officially).

        Then another 10 minutes setting up graphics settings and your out 1/2 hour of your refundable time. On top of that sometimes you have to make an account so thats another 15-20 minutes. Then there are possible proton problems so you might have to test different protons. I play on laptop and deck so I might not have internet all the time, I have to test if the game can play without internet. Might waste most of your trial period on getting the game to run.

      Battlefield 3 on Steam:

      1. Steam launches EA App
      2. EA App launches Battlelog in your web browser, and a background service
      3. After choosing a mode/server, web browser sends data to EA App
      4. EA App launches bf3.exe
