Wow. The whole thing was quite a blood-letting. Probably a killer for morale. I prefer to look at it as getting rid of the dead weight and bringing some fresh talent. The Kotaku articles on Anthem and MEA made it sound like the "old guard" had been growing a bit stale/stuck and with too much of an "yes man" culture within the studio. And by experience I know that with a lot of "yes men" around you reach exactly the point where nothing gets done because nobody knows what has to be done. Wasnt he from the Austin studio? Not much deadweighting from there.

Well, how dead Anthem is depends on the MTX money. FO76 is proof that you can have a dumpster fire of a game, tank your reputation into the gutter with it and STILL make tons of money because 50% of mankind are morons. Supposedly Fallout First is selling quite well!
I doubt however that Anthem has that kind of dedicated fanbase. You need to have a BIG franchise name to pull off the kind of shit Bethesda is doing without going bankrupt. Anthem has no road map, nothing. Not even a compelling store.
That said, I agree that at this point they might as well hire new people because it can't get worse than this. Sometimes just getting rid of somebody in charge who made bad calls helps.

I say burn it, burn it with fire. (Okay, to be clear here, I'm not actually calling for any place or any one to be burnt, it's a metaphor)
If they had reduced this down to the next ME:A expansion and completely fucked up the lore, who knows how well it would've sold. Derpe derp, we don't even know our own sexuality. Derpe derp.
I swear to god, what these millennials need is some good pipe laid down, stat.

I think most people recognise the possibilities anthem has, so it would be a bit much to simply burn it simply because it wasn't the ol' bioware's way of working (newsflah, ol' biowar ehasn't existed in a long time and will never come back). That all said and done, regardless of how much I enjoy playign anthem, I would have 10 times more liked an expansion on MEA or a new ME to Anthem.

They'd be lucky. Nobody wants their burrito made for 6 hours and sold at full price without 80% of the ingredients.

And when you buy a burrito, it might taste like a burrito, or it might not. Surprise mechanics! But you didn't buy a burrito... you bought a tortilla with the potential to be a good burrito, if only you had the patience and trust to wait until they got all the missing ingredients together. They had prepared such a nice list. ...too bad you couldn't pay with a handful of pennies that had the potential to be the full price one day.
