Yes, saw Angry Joe's video last night and read the article.
Deceptive and I would REALLY like to be part of a class action to get my $80 back.
Because of piss more management, I don't think Anthem will ever become anything even close to what it was meant to be or shown at E3 2017....
it's too late. FIFA is more important and using the stupid Frostbyte engine is too important.
All around IDIOTIC decisions.

How stupid of a CEO do you have to be to think forcing using Frostbyte for all future games is ALWAYS a better financial idea?
What kind of idiot doesn't allow subsidiaries to present their projects and budgets and options and not weigh those options?
Eg... here's what the game will cost and be able to achieve in UE4.. here's what the game will cost and be able to (NOT) achieve in Frostbyte.
And then as a CEO see what the fuck is happening in your own infrastructure and company's ecosystem to see the MASSIVE conflicts.
Like BioWare not getting the engine support they need for Anthem because of FIFA.
LIMITED RESOURCES... fucking piss poor management from BioWare (pre-production for 5 years and wishy-washy indecision) and STUPID decisions by EA.

Let there be a class action lawsuit or something to that effect, the video game market will be completely fine without EA and BioWare if they go bust.
Someone else will step up. And BioWare is no longer BioWare we knew and love anymore... those people who made BioWare what it was loved for... left.

Long short, we were deceived, and the market should not tolerate that.

There were a good 30-35 TESTies playing at launch, now its about 3-4.

If Anthem was sold as "AMAZING GAME WITH 20HRS OF GAMEPLAY! ENTIRE GAME MADE IN 16 MONTHS!", I would say that is awesome!

This was supposed to be so much more.

Im not angry, Im just disappointed and feel really bad for the Bioware devs who poured their heart and soul into this.

I still rooting for them that they can hopefully keep working on it and get it to where they envisioned it to be.
