I would really like to replay ME3 with all DLC on PC before Andromeda comes out, but the only way to get all the DLC is with the outdated and ridiculous Bioware points system, which i have worked out will cost around £30!  so, do you have any plans to release a GOTY edition, or better still, remove the stupid points system, and reduce the price to a level that is reasonable considering the age of the game now?

I doubt it, I had to pay full whack for them as I've never seen them on sale.  I didn't mind all that much as I got ME3 itself for about a fiver.  Hopefully with DAI coming in a GOTY edition they'll be going with that format from now on.

 

For what it's worth, you can totally skip Omega.  It's 2 and a half hours of combat with Aria occasionally talking, no biggie.

Leviathan, From Ashes and Citadel are essential tho, imo.

While EA/Bioware ditching Bioware points for their post-ME3 products is a positive step, the fact that the DLCs for ME2, 3 and DA2 are still stuck behind such a ridiculous system and their unwillingness to phase out such a system while Microsoft and Sony have largely abandoned such schemes for their respective consoles (and on those consoles, thanks to EA/Bioware not calling the shots regarding pricing, at least offer a decent 50% discount every now and then) will keep me well clear of any of their products in the near (and possibly distant) future.

 

I also will not be surprised in the years following Andromeda's release, ME2/3 may very well be more expensive in the future than their successor, all because of EA/Bioware's stubbornness in regards to pulling the plug on such a vile system. 

 

Gamestop did have a 33% discount on Bioware points during the Christmas/Holiday season, but only for the US.  UK/EU/ROW, sorry, SOL.

 

Your only other real alternative (short of piracy) would be to pretend you're from an ex-Soviet republic via VPN, and take advantage of the price differences EA/Bioware sets in different regions.  I'll admit, I've been tempted to use this method myself, but general principle has stopped me from using such a tactic thus far.  Considering the ongoing middle finger EA/Bioware has given its PC user base however, I wouldn't fault anyone doing so.

 

If I were you, I'd spend that 30 quid elsewhere until EA/Bioware corrects their rather severe case of cranial-rectal inversion, like a good meal with some friends, transportation/fuel, or games from a developer that doesn't treat their PC customers like a form of digital second-class citizen...
