ME1 and ME2: Three times ME3: only twice.
I bought ME1 for 360 out of the $20 bin without knowing anything about it (probably somewhere in 2009). I then bought 2 and 3 on release for PS3.
I picked up 1 and 2 (I think as a bundle) on steam sometime in 2019. The LE was announced before I needed to buy ME3 for the PC.
LE for PC on release.
I also bought Andromeda on PC after finishing my second LE playthrough. Haven't finished it...

To be fair, neither did the devs, ha ha. (I can laugh about it now, the years have softened the pain)
i played andromeda after most of the outrageous issues were fixes. it's still a pretty mid game
I recently bought the Legendary edition, although I already own the first three games, so technically I bought it twice. I mainly did it for the visual upgrades for ME1 and ME2.
Just twice for me: On PC, I bought the Mass Effect Trilogy boxset and was upset when I learnt that it doesn't contain all the DLC (most of the big DLC for ME2 and ME3 are missing) and later I bought Legendary Edition on my Xbox Series S. I also bought Andromeda between them.
Realising I never bought Andromeda. Just played it as part of an EA Access thing, and once was enough (a shocking thing for me to think about a Mass Effect game). It's okay, but I think I enjoyed Dunky ripping on it more.
