Worth to get Dead Space remake or play it with EA Playpro

[[PBS] 🆃🅷🅾🆂🅳🆁🅰🆇]

Hi there,

is it worth to get this game on Steam, or get in with EA PlayPro?

So please suggest which one I should get.

Like any game, I would say it depends. And mostly, it depends on how much/often you plan to play the game.

If you think Dead Space Remake is going to become the game you play the most for the upcoming months, I would say buying it is the better option.
If you plan to play it once or twice (or even more) in february, and then forget it for a year or two before playing it again, it may be more "money efficient" to subscribe to EA Play Pro for a month and then buy the game in a year or so, enjoying a nice discount.

No matter how you look at it, it's up to you.

EA PlayPro $15 is nice price.

I'd rather own the game than deal with EA play pro besides I want to see this franchise continue to get remakes and a direct sequel to Dead Space 3 that won't happen unless we buy the game that's the only way we will ever see dead space 4

[Saigon]

At the end of Dead Space 3 Earth was being consumed by the Necromorphs just imagine what Dead Space 4 will be like but we won't get that game unless people buy Dead Space remake

I bought fo 50 key for Origins, I want to keep the game not rent it.
So depends if you want to rent or buy it.

Keep in mind that you never own any game. You a merely buying a license that allows you to play.
Also, weither we are talking about Steam or EA/Origin (or any other store), it is still considered long term rent, nothing more. If tomorrows the stores cease to exist, it's like you haven't bought anything.
The only difference between subscribing to a service like EA Play and "buying" a game, is just that in the first case, you know when you rent finishes.

Also, It's not because you subscribe to a service to try a game that you can't "buy" it afterwards. One of the very purposes of subscribe services like GamePass or EA Play is to be able try freely the games you want before buying them if you are really interested in those.

Valve have already stated on numerous occasions that if Steam was to shut down they already have an exit plan to do with people being able to continue to use Steam in a semi perpetual offline mode. All of the games on Steam have already been backed up to 3rd party servers which will also allow you to continue to download the games going forward too if this occurs.

Steam's response: https://i.imgur.com/4sa1Ln6.jpg

Note this is just one response made, there are at least several others from enquires made to Valve that have the same answer and assurance of a backup plan.

I would still recommend if that scenario ever happens and Steam announces a shutdown date to at least have your games downloaded to a drive just in case however they have made it very that this is the plan and if it happens you will be able to download, install and run your games, you just won't obviously be able to purchase new ones.

Of course it's not going to be perfect and there are going to be scenario's where this could be challenging (such as an always online MMO) but for the vast majority of people's libraries it will be ok.

Getting back to ownership, you don't own physical games either. They are exactly the same as digital in terms of licence holder rights. At least on Steam there are hundreds of games already here which don't have any DRM restrictions whatsoever.

You don't even need to launch Steam at all to run them (Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are one such example). In those cases you could continue to play them forever just as long as you have a backup saved somewhere just in case.

I'd rather own the game, or at least a perpetual license for it. Pre-ordered for pre-load, but finger on the refund trigger if it pulls some callisto ♥♥♥♥.

I agree with pretty much everything you said.

We never own games, even physical.
If it would be harder to loose access to the physical games we own pre-PS3 though, it might get harder with more recent ones considering that at some point physical releases became mere install setups rather than just games files. In other words, while older games may be playable indefinitely (according physical release is in a good state enough and if the platform is also in working state), more recent game systems often have to make sure the inserted game is allowed to work on the system.
In practice for example, PS Vita games work via a Sony key system and if you try to launch your newly bought game in a console that hasn't been updated (and which doesn't therefore have the list of keys that are allowed to work on the machine), it simply won't boot. They say this is to prevent piracy, but in long term scenarios it also affects game preservation. That said, I'm talking about Vita specificaly, but it can very be the exact same for the other Sony consoles past the Vita.
So yeah, while a lot of people prefer physical releases than digital, they tend to become the same thing with time.

As for valve's answer regarding the "in case it cease to exist" topic, it seems nothing more than classic PR stuff to me. In the enventuallity valve cease to exist as a company, I'm pretty sure they don't owe anything to anyone. Even if they garantee we keep some access to the games we "bought" if such an even were to happen, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the case. If steam cease to exist, by no means they will "semi" still be here with servers to allow customers to download their games.

I understand that, but what are the odds of Steam going bankrupt? Almost zero. If anything they'll grow bigger.
The thing is with EA plan once it ends you have no access to redownload the game anymore. Same with PS + or Game Pass. I want to replay some games down the road so buying it is a safer bet here.
If by some reason a game is unavailable, we have sides like myabandonware to play old discontinued games.
But to each their own, maybe you one of the guys who can play a game once and move to the next one and never return to the previous ones. It all depends on one's choice to replay a game or not.

It's not a necessarily a question of money.

Like I said, it's not because you tried the game on such services that you can't buy it afterwards. Trying it on such services then buying it when it goes on a good sale gives the same result in the end. Except that you may have paid less money as a result.

But to each their own, maybe you one of the guys who can play a game once and move to the next one and never return to the previous ones. It all depends on one's choice to replay a game or not.

Who said anything about me? I just stated a possibility to the OP.
And yes, trying it on EA Play Pro before buying it when it goes on discount if he wants to replay it is a valid strategy.
Also, considering the amount of games I bought on steam it's pretty clear that I preffer buying games than use subscribe services. They are still undeniably useful when I want to try a game before making a purchase.

ok, well I bought the game I want to play it day one. Is a gamble a bit sure is but I don't mind. For OP I suggest he could buy the game and refund it if he don't like it on Steam.
I'm ready for this one tho and pumped.
