Anthem should learn from Diablo 3 - or risk being another game on EA’s scrapheap

Anthem has crash-landed onto Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC and needs to find its way back into hearts of Bioware's fanbase. Here, we look at ideas of how it can learn from one of the biggest examples of a game turning around a rough launch.

This is EA we're talking about.

If it's not an immediately cash cow, they do not give a single f*ck about it and it's dead to them. They'll move on and either shutdown Bioware to move them around within the company or tell them to move onto another project.

Repeated sub-par releases like the Need for Speed series as of late, the cancelled Star Wars game, Battlefield 4's buggy launch, I and V having lower numbers than projected, Battlefront I and II underwhelming, Andromeda's colossal failure, FIFA's down on sales and revenue, and now this latest disappointment in Anthem has got to be pissing off investors and their patience is wearing thin.

To sum this up: Anthem is already doomed for the future.

Forgot about the declining player count and Twitch viewership for Apex Legends as well.

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H99h ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

Profchaos13h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release
