Anthem and The Division are both games that got a ton of hype that I never really understood where the excitement was coming from

I was going to ask if this was about you and friends driving home drunk after a party when you hit a guy on the street then tossed his body in the lake and now you're not really sure he died, but I guess what you actually did was also kinda stupid

And, speaking of stupid, I blind-bought Anthem after all of this shit was known about it (granted, I didn't pay much, but still).

Mighty no. 9 was a shitshow from beginning to end. The creator asked for money for the project more than once, took forever to deliver, and even created another Kickstarter for a whole different game while this one was still in development. The final product was subpar at best, didn't release at all on some of the platforms promised (including the one I purchased a copy for), and was an absolutely unplayable mess at launch on some platforms. I'm sure there are other things I'm forgetting.

Yeah I did too among some others I now kinda regret. At least that one is 100% guaranteed to come out.

Electronic Arts Inc. will hold a meeting this week to determine whether it will continue trying to create a new version of the failed online game Anthem, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Anthem, a multiplayer game by the EA-owned developer BioWare, launched in February 2019 to poor reviews. In the following months, BioWare put together a small team to overhaul the game. Executive Producer Christian Dailey wrote three blog posts last year outlining some of the big changes planned. But in December, Dailey left the Anthem team as part of a BioWare management shakeup, leaving the projects fate in question.

This week, EA executives will review the latest version of Anthem Next and decide whether to expand the team or abandon the project, said the people, who asked not to be named discussing private information. The Anthem Next team includes about 30 people, BioWare said last year. People familiar with the project said it will need to expand to at least triple that in order to produce new content and continue attempting to overhaul the game. EA has not yet indicated whether its willing to commit that kind of budget to revive a maligned game.
A spokesman for EA said the company doesnt comment on rumor and speculation.
Anthem Next includes major changes to the games core systems and user interface, the people said. Its not clear if or when these changes will be implemented in the version thats currently available to players.
In the video game industry, second chances arent unheard of. Games like No Mans Sky and Final Fantasy XIV turned around rocky launches with consistent updates and patches. CD Projekt SAs recently released role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 is hoping to follow a similar redemption story.

I tried to play Anthem when it showed up for Gamepass. But it wouldn't let me. Said my EA account was deactivated. I couldn't get it reactivated and gave up. But I could still play Titanfall 2.

I really enjoyed the game and the flying.

I blame Destiny. Destiny spawned all these games with cool concepts but no meat on release. Its BS.
