And that's the biggest issue with live service games.

Unless they do a FF XIV they might as well let it die.

I'm so glad I got rid of this game. Got a full refund and bought Devil May Cry 5.

Face it people this game is dead. Bioware is dead and EA just have it on life support deciding if they want to write off the studio and game or do they want to pump more money into it to try and get some ROI. I think the answer is clear as its EA, Bioware and Anthem are dead. The only part I find insulting is they, like Bungie, believe we are so stupid we wouldn't know this game did not go through 7 yrs of development. Bioware wasted large some of money and tried to pass off bullshit as a finish product.

You people are all morons and I bet my life that every single person that trashes on Anthem right now will be like "omg why did people hate this game so much?" in five years even if it literally got zero updates.

Clueless sheep.

I am so glad I didn't buy this game. I can't stress that enough.

There is no hope for the game. Its a Bioware game made without love.

Everyone saw this coming. I wonder if EA and BW are considering making this go F2P. Outside of doing that and making the game cross play, I really don't see it surviving for much longer.

Lol RIP

I stopped playing this game after one week...two of the worst investments I did during this year Fallout 76 and Anthem...

Lol....

The stupid thing about all this is that there is a good game hidden beneath Anthem. It plays well, and the combat is intuitive and satisfying. But they've just been completely incapable of making progress since launch.

EA Probably should add this too ea access and hope people stat and buy cosmetics otherwise this might be one of the saddest games of this gen. All the potential even sold decently at launch but ultimately a huge letdown

The honeymoon is over.

EA can suck BALLS

It just doesn't get any better with Anthem. Morale at Bioware has to be at an all time low at this point in time. Better update them resumes folks cause I can't see EA putting up with Anthem' s performance too much longer. It's a disaster.

The sad thing is that people predicted this game would be a disaster. That is how predictable some of these AAA games companies have become.

I don't know why people still buy EA games, they have more misses than hits these days. I don't think people should treat reviews like fact, but just look at user reviews of EA games over the last 10 years, there are so many poor ratings. If they are rating so bad by the consumers, then why do people keep buying their games?

Delightful.

There's still eHarmony and Match.com. Don't give up Anthem players, there's somebody out there for you!

People still play Anthem?

Yikes. Calling it now. They jump ship just like they did with ME:A. Sad to see a former great dev go down. Feel bad for devs that poured their lives into this game for essentially nothing. Thanks EA for forcing Frostbite on everyone.

That's what you get for not developing a new Skate game.

Back in the day I played the original Gears of War multiplayer with friends for 4 years straight. I would stay up all night until morning. The game was finished. We didn't need any loot boxes and we had a blast. I made so many memories. Back then it seemed less like a well oiled machine. Today it's so commercialized. It's like gambling.

R.I.P

maybe they'll go back to making some single player rpgs now...

Weeeeeeiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrdddddd dd

Anthem was just a disaster of development from the beginning and this is usually the outcome.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
