Wow. Some people bought the game for full price recently and now it's given away for free (with your PS+ subscription) early next month.

But... you still don't own it. You own an ~~Ubi~~ EA-controlled, revocable license to play the game.

and if they let me buy it license free I would. However between the options of buying a license to play a game whenever I want vs renting it for 1 month, I'll take the license.

Ubi? I thought Dragon Age was EA

lol fair enough, it's Bioware, but the point still stands

Ah I thought I missed the news and Ubi purchased the rights or something. The point does still stand, yeah. Parent comment made the same point too

I mean it’s the same for Steam.

Edit: I’m dumb. I didn’t read the parent comment.
