BioWare Confirms Origin Required for Mass Effect 3

Addressing speculation over EA’s download service, Origin, BioWare’s Chris Priestly posted an FAQ on the official forums.  He confirmed that all PC versions of Mass Effect 3, retail and digital, will require use of Origin.  Apart from a one-time authorization there are no special restrictions; no install limits, and only multiplayer mode will require a constant connection.  However, Mass Effect 3 will not be sold on Steam for the time being.  The full FAQ can be read over yonder.

If you should hear a faint screaming in the distance, a far-off cry of anguish that can only be attributed to a man in intense psychological pain, don’t panic.  That’s just me.
