User blog comment:Slowrider7/What brought you to Mass Effect?/@comment-2088100-20110701115100

I was intrigued by that same decision-making commercial that H-Man Havoc spoke of, but the game was a 360 exclusive at the time, so I forgot about it. When it was finally released on the PC, I was no longer interested. I'd not really seen or heard much about the game on PC, so I wasn't really considering buying.

Until one day I had issues with Steam, and I spent a good hour or two with one of their support guys troubleshooting the problem. At the end of it, with the problem fixed, the guy offered me a free game for my trouble. I chose Mass Effect. Best decision ever. After that, ME2 was a preorder game for me, as ME3 will be.
