Why I Don’t Trust EA With Anthem

Bioware’s upcoming Anthem looks set to be a great game, there’s no doubt. The studio can pull out the best of gaming when given the chance. Yet as EA seemingly butchers its 2017 library of AAA-games in the name of profit, I can’t help but not trust the company when it comes to their 2018 slate of games, leading me to worry that Anthem might not escape the same fate.

Let’s be honest, EA’s behavior this year hasn’t given me any cause for any optimism. Having looked at the state of the latest Need for Speed, a game that ejects car tune-ups in favor of Loot Box style card upgrades, it showcases a complete lack of respect for both the genre it represents as well as the audience who pay full price for laughable mechanics. EA has always had a negative reputation but they now seem quite content to relish in that, as long as the game generates big in microtransactions.
