“Oh, it is an obvious yes, played through it 3 times, I think, last time in the legendary edition. Love the entire trilogy, the DLCs are lackluster though.”

— a player, Steam review · 1,202 hrs played“I wish I could give this a positive review, but I cant.

Yup so that means ME3 nolonger works, and ME2 (2010 Edition) nolonger works, multiplayer nolonger works.…”
