Of course these figures are outside of primetime, but still, it is even worse than I (a skeptic) thought it would be at this point. Destiny 2 and The Division 2, games Anthem was supposed to compete against, never ever fall under the four-digit mark on Twitch viewership. Last night (April 30th), the viewercount for Anthem fell to as low as 15 according to Twitch tracker. Dang, I could probably do better than that live-streaming my group's D&D game!

To be fair the very low numbers (below 100) were during server maintenance (so nothing to stream), but average numbers are still very low Of course fanboys will say that's because it's PvE but other PvE games (and older ones) have more viewers Also you won't find as many Youtube videos about builds, etc... ME3MP had a lot of those, MEAMP had less than ME3 but still more than Anthem And if you look at the activity of the coop and lore subforums, well... at least they don't get the usual haircut/romance thread spams from Mass Effect / Dragon Age ^^
The best that can be said is that players left until Bio gets Anthem in good order. I'm shooting for six months for them to get loot and progression up to par. Ten+ if there is only a skeleton crews for support.
You're highly optimistic, a skeleton crew could do some bug fixes (maybe important ones, but still bug fixes) but this game also needs new content to survive

I don't know if this was posted. Or if it's even useful. But here ... Anthem's Player Count Proves Retail Chart Analysis is Pointlesstl;dr ME2, a single player only game, that didn't even launch on PS3 on release, had more players online, than Anthem, as the latter never broke more than 400k concurrent players. That's a yikes from me, dawg.

The low sodium anthem discord closed, and what was the main reason?
2.) Anti-Salt Trolls. This is an issue that we have addressed recently and while it has been more or less handled for now in the subreddit, its gotten progressively worse on the Discord. As, I have said recently, there is a subsection of this community that thinks because they love Anthem more than anything else on God's green earth that they can troll, harass, and personally attack anyone at all who does not hold an overly glowing opinion of the game. They incorrectly feel that we Mods are behind them in this, we are not. This was the larger and more easier to spot issue in the LSA Discord and it progressed to the point where as volunteers it became impossible to maintain the Discord, subreddit, our personal hobbies, and our adult lives.
Their efforts to run away from toxicity generated a different kind of toxicity. Good job guys.

This isn't a skepticism post about Anthem, but rather a lol moment at journalism. Remember that old Penny Arcade comic that said how game journalists were just getting their news from reddit? Well, yesterday Reddit declares Anthem dead and today ... article about players declaring Anthem dead. Fabulous research guys. Really, so impressive. gearnuke.com/anthem-players-declare-game-dead/

Problem is that they still have to deal with the wrong engine, microtransactions, and games as a service. That right there, I think, is the unholy trinity that's going to take a few development studios down.

HUH? sorry but game studios move people around all the time (its a cost thing) especially if they have a lot of eggs in their baskets its cheaper that hiring new blood and training them. and yes I'm not defending them but like all company's management is the key to successes.

Problem is that they still have to deal with the wrong engine, microtransactions, and games as a service. That's doable. Ubisoft, in general, seems to nail that stuff down. At least in more recent titles. As bad as Ubisoft is with its special/ultimate/gold/platinum editions, their in-game monetization is the least offensive of the bunch. Still not the ideal, but at this point, they are the most reliable alternative. Not to mention that, when they release a new game, the game is full enough of stuff to do, so as to feel like a full game on release, rather than an early access beta.
