Rumor has it that EA and BioWare will be releasing Anthem as a free-to-play game on EA Access. There are so many things I can say about Anthem, about it's incredible hype cycle, it's rushed development, it's sloppy execution on lofty goals, it's failure to deliver on any aspects of gaming that BioWare has traditionally done well… The[...]

BioWare and EA's Anthem is struggling to hold onto its player base, which is quickly dwindling as the days drag on It's been three months since the game debuted back in February, and many have given up on playing it altogether.

EA and BioWare's Anthem has had a rough go of it, between the game's rocky development cycle to its pre- and post-launch troubles, the game is currently the punch line for all the "companies releasing unfinished games" jokes Which is great for Fallout 76, but not for Anthem. Now, neither game is truly without hope[...]
