60 is more then fair.

20 for each game + dlcs ( minus Pinnacle Station dlc )

Be careful. You're speaking in favor of the $60 pricing. A vast majority of the people here will not be very happy with that. I also think it's a fair price, since the games individually were more expensive when they were first released.

However, a lot of the people here have a strong sense of false entitlement and the notion that the Devs and others should do what is in *their* best interest because they're cheap as ♥♥♥♥.

EA stole two Steam game keys (ME1 and ME2) from me because of THEIR screw-up w/ EA Play (actually more than two, but just keeping this focused on Mass Effect). Not giving them $60 for this cheap re-hash that has better default textures but worse lighting, as well as environments that were stupidly altered (Eden Prime for example).

If it turns out that MELE is unoptimized / runs poorly in addition to everything else, then everyone who "happily paid $60 for it" will get their knives out too, and BioWare's reputation will sink even lower (if that's possible).

90$ is fair for 3 games and 40dlc

Isn't RE Village being sold for like, $69, including a crappy DLC?
Why aren't people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about that?

Because it's not EA.

Honestly i would have been happier with a $30 - 40 price tag and $50 only if they had ps5 features, ssd, and graphics support. That being said i still got it for ps4 pro at $60. Really hoping its a much better experience without loosing the original mood of environments in ME1. Based on pictures it should look much better on on my visio 4ktv with hdr instead of monitor.

I'd be alot more willing to pay full price for their games if I didn't have to use Origin to play them. That hassle alone makes half price already pushing it.

As I already own the trilogy on 360, and all the parts they released on Steam, I'd accept a freebie, if it came with an apology letter.

If you're a subscriber to teh most basic origin subscription, you have most of this already.

$60 is fine w/ me. Of course I would like to buy it at $5.99 because I always try to get the lowest price on everything.... but, "fair"?. Yeah. 3 of the best games ever made, remastered with one of them HEAVILY remastered and all 40 DLC included? Easily the best value you will get in a video game this year that you actually have to pay for (free games/Game Pass... ect doesn't count)

... and lol people comparing Crash effing Bandicoot trilogy to Mass Effect Trilogy. One is a game I barely remember playing on PS1 back in the day with remade cartoon graphics in a linear Mario-like kiddy world and the other is literally the best space trilogy in gaming history with hundreds of hours of gameplay, dialog and secrets in a huge multiplanetary world and an insane amount of DLC included. I would rather pay $100 for ME:L than pay $10 for Crash Trilogy lol It's like comparing a Ferrari to a Honda Civic that someone threw $50k worth of aftermarket parts into and then complaining that the Ferrari is not the same price as the Civic.

Rough total of the trillogy and DLC launch prince: Unfortunately I cannot find any of the original prices, but I do recall all 3 games were easily between the $50-$60 at launch, all DLC you now get for free today, were sold via "bioware points" back then, ranging between $5-$20 or even higher.
Mass effect had 2 DLC's
Mass Effect 2 had roughly 21 paid DLC's
and Mass Effect 3 had roughly 15 paid DLC's + roughly 13 Multiplayer paid DLC's.

$50-$60 * 3 + $5-$20 + 51 = Somwhere between $206-$10200, not even counting how much you would lose out on due to Bioware Points, as it was ensured you could never buy the correct amount you needed, you always had to buy more points then you were required to spend.
This does also not take in account, all the microtransactions you could spend on the Multiplayer Content of ME3.

Rough total of the trillogy and DLC prices today on Steam/Origin: *$461,86*

Total price for the Remake that contains the Trillogy, most of the DLC's and even many quality of life improvements: Just $60

Yeah, $60 is a pretty reasonable and even extremely generous price, considering the original games and DLC's bundled together, even bought today cost you around $461,86

60$ to re-live the entire Mass Effect saga with improvements on multiple levels.
Sounds about right.

I personally won't buy it until i'm certain it's not a buggy mess, pre-order is a shady business.

This thing is priceless

60€ might be okay for first time players. But people replaying shouldn't be forced to pay more than 40. No matter what minimal improvements you made to the trilogy, it's still the same three 9 to 12yo games. I think many many people won't buy the game before a heavy discount. Rightfully so.

[Aepervius]

Fair price is difficult to say.

As an owner of all of that on origin I would say 30€ at most.
If I was not an owner, the price seem fair , 60 euro.

Such calculation are m,eaningless because they don't take into account software depreciation. And yes, software depreciate.

Game in particular depreciate due to various factor :
1) technology is too old
2) gameplay is also not up to modern standard
3) story is known (in case of a previous owner)
4) some of the DLC are of the type "get a new weapon" yet priced original in multiple euro value. The value is very questionable.

and maybe other I am not taking into account.

Bottom line your calculation of summing everything is at best very naive.
