Players who currently have BioWare Points will be able to spend them on Mass Effect 3 multiplayer packs until October 11, EA writes. Many users also expressed frustration with the fact that BioWare Points were only sold in bundles of 800, often leaving them with leftover points after making DLC purchases that didn't divide evenly into point packages. All Mass Effect DLC is also included as part of the recently released Legendary Edition.

In 2017, though, EA released moderately priced DLC bundles for its legacy BioWare titles, making it much more affordable and convenient to purchase story-based expansions and content packs that offer more character customization options. As an angry petition noted in 2015, 'to purchase enough BioWare Points to own all DLC for the series would total $105 over 3 times the cost of all three base games.' And because those points rarely went on sale, the price of that DLC relative to the heavily discounted base games would sometimes get a little ridiculous. Those BioWare Points used to be the only way to purchase DLC for the developer's legacy titles.

The change-which EA is announcing via apparent emails to some Origin users-comes alongside the pending shutdown of the BioWare Points digital currency system. Single-player downloadable content for the PC versions of Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 will be available for free going forward.
