Their games on gog makes ea less evil? Do you think so?
Huh? Care to elaborate?
If they'd bring Mass Effect with all DLCs included then yes. As it is, not really. Just look at Dead Space, it was free countless of times, yet here it sells for $20.
Considering that they're basically the Borg collective of games publishing and a known dev killer, I'd say not much if at all. Honestly, they're still evil, and I still don't like giving them a single cent.

I should note, though, I've still bought a few games from studios they've eaten here and thus given money to them, but only on really steep discounts. As in, about 3 bucks for Dungeon Keeper Gold and Dungeon Keeper 2 combined, and similar for the entire Ultima series up through 7. There are, after all, limits to the games I'm willing to forego completely on the basis that EA gets a few cents from the sale. There's hard, uncompromising moral principles, and then there's never getting to play Ultima 7. When you put it in the light of the latter, it gets much harder to not buy it when they won't even get as much as a dollar from the sale of that game due to GOG's cut.

I really hate it when EA and Activision release classic titles on GOG with much higher prices than on Steam and Origin. Those games not even actively supported to justify higher fees for DRM-free releases.
No.
Mega publishers like EA have historically been the architects of some of the worst DRM in gaming history, their desire for absolute control bordering on obsessive, so it certainly couldn't hurt their image to release them on GOG. EA are not quite the boogeyman they were in 2012-13. After winning The Consumerist's 'Golden Poo' award two years running, they threw their games in a charity Humble Bundle and introduced refunds long before Steam.

Then again, perhaps nothing can wash off the stain that was Dungeon Keeper Mobile.

Mass Effect has two DLCs and only one of them is worth a damn. Either way, the game on PC has always included both DLCs for free.

I agree, what you just said!

People don't give a shit if a company is evil. See idiots loving Bethesda despite them selling unfinished broken games and wanted to monetize mods or Ubisoft which is a disgusting company that makes EA look like saints.
Yet somehow people ignore that and act as if EA is the ultimate evil. They haven't don really anything bad in a very long time (since they got their new CEO)

I've meant the entire series 1-3 :). Especially since they introduced the damn bioware points.
I will never forgive the dev killer.
No. It just makes digital versions of individual games they own the rights to worth buying. :P

Monetizing mods isn't the problem for a lot of people. It's the shitty, uncurated way in which they tried to do it, and the multitude of leechers out there who will steal others' content and sell it as their own that ruined that idea.

Personally I'll pay more to have DRM-less (Origin FREE) version. EA is one of the worst when it comes to over charging, but they do put games on sale here. I think deadspace is like $5 right now. I imagine we'll get Mass Effect 1 soon. It didn't have any online connecting, and its pretty old now.

Too be honest, I think Valve is every bit as bad as EA if not worse. Ever tried to use Steam offline mode for an extended period of time? Yeah, you won't be playing long. Thats some terrible DRM.
