That's excellent, truly, but what about first party DRM?

Is it going to require the EA app when purchased on another platform?

Surprisingly apparently no. You can buy it on steam and it will just be steam. I'm cautiously optimistic that maybe EA has finally learned their lesson with single player games - but we'll see how DA4 is to verify that.

They even went out of their way to get SteamDeck certified

That was what was kind of making me suspicious. They said steam deck verified but I expected a shitty EA launcher that would make launching it on steam deck at least annoying, possibly even impossible. So if they DON'T have a launcher...that's amazing. Hopefully true
