On another note, BackBlaze has published its Hard Drive stats for 2020:

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-for-2020/

For drives which have less than 250,000 drive days, any conclusions about drive failure rates are not justified. There is not enough data over the year-long period to reach any conclusions. We present the models with less than 250,000 drive days for completeness only.

For drive models with over 250,000 drive days over the course of 2020, the Seagate 6TB drive (model: ST6000DX000) leads the way with a 0.23% annualized failure rate (AFR). This model was also the oldest, in average age, of all the drives listed. The 6TB Seagate model was followed closely by the perennial contenders from HGST: the 4TB drive (model: HMS5C4040ALE640) at 0.27%, the 4TB drive (model: HMS5C4040BLE640), at 0.27%, the 8TB drive (model: HUH728080ALE600) at 0.29%, and the 12TB drive (model: HUH721212ALE600) at 0.31%.

The AFR for 2020 for all drive models was 0.93%, which was less than half the AFR for 2019.

And here's a comparion of the last three years:

The confirmation that this collection will come with all the DLCs (over 40), is what actually sells it to me. Now it's only a matter of how expensive it will be and how long will it take to reach a price I'm willing to pay for it.

Being EA, I'm expecting a 60/70 $/€ price tag.

£60, hardly anything to show before/after remaster differences, requires origin to launch, and they'll likely remove the original games from Steam.

Yeah, no thanks EA.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I swear I had not checked it to see the price, but being EA and remembering what they launch ME 3 on WiiU at full price when PS4/XOne got the games for the same or less, it was a safe bet that they would do it again.

I have the three games, but I actually bough the physical editions so so kind of discount for me. Oh, well, I'll wait until it's 15-20€ or so, depends if the gameplay tweaks are an actual improvement or not.

So?

Those are for Fallen Order, and the same can be found on any EA game that has launched on Steam since their comeback, and I don't remember any of you complaining back then, only saying how EA had given up and come back to Steam.

I am not complaining about Origin. I just find it funny that EA's own description says "One Launcher" even though it's two launchers. Like why even say "One Launcher" if you are gonna have two? Just don't even mention it loll.
