A couple of weeks ago, Mass Effect 3’s executive producer, Casey Hudson, said that the Origin version of Mass Effect 3 would not be using an intrusive DRM scheme. According to Hudson, the game would require a one time, single authorization, and installs would not be limited. However, it appears that EA’s Origin service uses a version of SecureROM, a DRM system that is hated by a lot of PC gamers. In fact, a lot of gamers are boycotting all games that come with any form of SecureROM, and according to Reclaim Your Game, Mass Effect 3 on Origin uses a new form of SecureROM as its DRM.

A couple of days ago, we informed you about Boris Vorontsov plans for an ENBSeries mod of Mass Effect 3. Sadly, the modder decided to abandon those plans. Instead of concentrating on all the graphical issues of Mass Effect 3, Boris wanted to simply enjoy BioWare’s title which is understandable as who wouldn’t want to enjoy it, right? Another major problem is the game’s engine itself. Mass Effect 3’s high and low quality content are tied together like it was developed 7 years, meaning that it’s really difficult to adjust everything to the modder’s liking.
