Its worth popping it up on the page, then referencing your source for now. Many of the fixes published on the site aren't tested by ourselves, we inherently rely on the integrity of the fan community :)

I've tried it now, and it's no longer possible to get the DLC without owning the main game on Origin. They removed downloads outside of the Origin client. You can buy it, but there is no way to download it. It wont even show up in the Origin client's game list without having the main game.

Talking to EA support about this, but I'm not optimistic. There is of course ways of getting the DLC from other sources, but I was hoping we could avoid that.

Its worth trying to get into one of their live chat support things and then complaining, I've had good outcomes from that in the past.

They ended up giving me the base game on Origin, which was certainly very decent of EA support, but not a whole lot closer to fixing a generic solution for the DLC problem on Steam. :-/

Nice. Might be worth putting a link to the EA support livechat in the article, explaining that currently the only way to get the DLC is through them.
