What I want them to do is expand the team and finish this big overhaul they've been working on. But it's EA, so they'll likely just kill it. Sad really, the actual gameplay is kind of fun. It could have turned out good.

I think it was just a skeleton team working on it. Nothing major.

They are working on other stuff. I'm assuming by expanding the team they mean they'll hire more people. From what I remember they handed it to Bioware Austin (Old Republic team).

They're definitely killing it, there's no more money to be made from Anthem

Can Bioware survive the branding catastrophe of Anthem if it just gets killed after they spent so much time on it inspite of every single human on the planet and their mother having no faith in it, and promising the few people who did an overhaul? I feel like that'd be so damaging that EA would just shutter the studio within like a year after. Maybe when Dragon Age 4 is released.

I mean, Square saved FF14 from irrelevancy with ARR. You just gotta believe. >_>

I actually tried it out for the first time yesterday. The gameplay was a lot of fun, flying felt great.

Then towards the end of the first main mission after the tutorial, I think I got disconnected from their servers and was booted back to the hub world...

I just said fuck this and uninstalled.

Yeah but in 14's case they could draw back monthly subs. With Anthem... I guess they could sell cosmetics? lol

I think the Mass Effect Remasters have probably given them some vitality along with the excitement over the Mass Effect 4 teaser. Although the days of them doing any Games as a Service titles will surely be done and I don't think they'll survive if they fuck up doing a traditional Bioware game.

If Anthem was a single player game with the usual Bioware stuff supporting it the game would be pretty good I think. The combat itself is fun. It's everything else that sucks.

Definitely possible to make money that way. They were already asking cosmetics when the game launched and tons of free to play games rake in the money on cosmetics.

They started working on a total restructuring a year ago, similar to FFXIV.

I'm hoping they keep it alive, it'd be fantastic marketing on how they stuck with a game and kept their promise to fix it.

If they kill off the game, it'll be another example of them choosing money over their playerbase, and outright lying to them.
