I think Anthem is far removed from what old-time bw fans like to play anyway.

I'm just about done with BioWARE. It's not just the poorly made Andromeda, it's their SJW whining. I've no interest in Anthem, maybe some trailers will change my mind, but I already know they can make something pretty. I want good stories again.

Wait, what? I thought you were enjoying Andromeda. You either have me confused with someone else or I'm be trolled, either way, no I didn't enjoy Andromeda. It's not the worse game I have ever played, but it's by far the worst of the 4 ME games that I have played. Bioware is busy chasing the golden carrot and moving in a direction that I'm not interested in going. Going to take a wait and see approach with DA 4 and will decide if I'm done with Bioware and EA in general depending on the outcome. Yep, you've got the same avi as another member. Nevermind.

No, I will not boycott anthem for a variety of reasons. The first one being it's made a by a separate studio and punishing them for other peoples mistakes makes no sense. The second major reason I won't boycott is the logic of it. Why punish EA for learning from their mistakes? EA clearly sees that Andromeda was a disappointment, which is a very good thing. I don't really see how boycotting would be a reasonable "punishment" for not making DLC to a game that they might (key word here MIGHT) view as a failure. There are many reasons boycotting is justified but a company not making content is a a pretty weak one. To be clear I am not in the boycott crowd (just in the 'not interested' crowd). But I feel some clarification is needed here. The boycott people are upset that Anthem took resources away from Andromeda; that the graphics quality, animation, face models, gameplay and so on are what Andromeda should have been. This is not a situation where EA cancelled a DLC to focus on Anthem, its that many believe the budget and manpower that went into Anthem should have been geared towards Andromeda. That's a matter of opinion. I think EA like any other conglomerate is following trends. Plus Co-op multiplayer has a lot of potential for micro-transactions. Its the age old discussion of BW before and after EA. Before EA its "Let's make great games! We'll need money to do that!" vs the EA culture of "Let's make money! We need to make a game to make money". It is this behavior that boycotters are looking to influence.

It's not like Nintendo and its over aggressive copy right infringement strikes. Basically I don't get boycotting a decision you don't like because you want something else versus a suppression of rights/criticism or underhanded tactics (*cough* G2A *cough*).

Anthem does not appeal to me so I doubt I'll play it whether there is a DLC or not.

As most of us know, Andromeda was pretty much sabotaged by EA and rivaling Bioware factions. The interesting part is, Bioware fans are primarily Mass Effect and Dragon Age players. Nobody is a fan of their new Anthem game yet so technically nobody would miss it if they never got to play it. However, fans will miss Mass Effect if it gets completely abandoned because its an established franchise with a huge fan base. That said, every Mass Effect fan is a potential Anthem fan. But would those fans really wanna try out something new from Bioware if they thought for one minute that Bioware/EA were going to abandon Anthem the way they did with Andromeda? Can they be trusted? One way to convince fans to cross over and try out their new game Anthem would be to gain our trust and release the Quarian Ark DLC. That would show they're serious about maintaining their IP's and not simply letting it fall into ruin. So with that said, cast your votes. What would an Anthem boycott even do? The Anthem demographic is WAY larger than that of the MEA demographic. A more meaningful boycott would be to boycott DA4 as they share similar demographics. I mean just look at how much Destiny sold and compare that to what a Dragon Age or a Mass Effect game normally sells.

If they get the market they are trying to get with Anthem they won't be missing us too much. Anthem looks well made but it looks like it is being made for a different gaming demographic not the traditional bioware singleplayer rpg demographic. Sure it will probably have many of the elements of a traditional bioware game but at it's core it is a coop multiplayer game.

I would like to know how you "know" this, other than clickbait from an untrustworthy hack with a chip on his shoulder against the Mass Effect fandom. I can't help but to notice folks who claim Andromeda was "sacrificed" for Anthem seem desperate to con Mass Effect fans into resentment, if not outright abuse, towards the developers.

I don't think people are trying to spur others with malicious intent. I feel that a lot of people don't know that bioware has separate studios that largely operate by themselves. In addition many people haven't ever worked on larger projects or over simplify the issues that happened with MEA (that being poor upper management within the studio itself).

My favorite game of theirs of all times was the only one that had only one instalment and was pulled in favour of a franchise that I find lacklustre, the DA. Yet, even without the JE2, I have played and found enjoyment in their other titles, even in the blessed DA. So, DLC or no, no matter which franchise is their favorite baby, I will continue to play Bio games. SWTOR, Anthem... all of them. If I don't like it, no skin of my back. I am not going to try to send Inquisition back, rewrapped, lol, and I sure as all hells am going to buy Anthem. Bio makes good games, and there is literally nothing else on the market I want to play.

I can't help but to notice folks who claim Andromeda was "sacrificed" for Anthem seem desperate to con Mass Effect fans into resentment, if not outright abuse, towards the developers. Budget and manpower are finite resources. Looking at both side by side its clear who got the lion's share of the budget and man power. That does not make anyone a hack with a chip on their shoulder. No one is looking at the internal documents of EA and sees the Andromeda ledger and the Anthem ledger side by side, but the conclusion is inferred from the current observations. You can claim that Andromeda was never going to get a bigger budget regardless of Anthem, but that is a far cry from the 'hack with chip on his shoulder' conclusion. No one can see black holes - their existence is inferred by observation of its effects.

I might not get Anthem anyways. I don't really care for online games. I played Destiny for a bit and ESO too and couldn't really get into them. Ive played ESO for 2 years now, but even so i doubt im going to play this Anthem game. Its difficult for me to jump into new universes now that ive established my favorites, plus it doesnt look enticing enough.

No, the only thing that will make me boycott Anthem is if they expect me to drop 70$ on a game and then shell out a monthly subscription fee. Not happening, and like swtor I'll wait for the free to play model.

No, for 2 reasons:
1. I'm not interested in Anthem. I really enjoyed Destiny (unpopular opinion here) and plan on getting Destiny 2, so anything similar would be a waste.
2. EA wouldn't even care about a boycott. You know why? Because they make so much money anyway, they wouldn't even notice if a few Andromedans won't buy their new IP. A boycott is unnecessary.

I think Anthem is far removed from what old-time bw fans like to play anyway. Maybe. I play a lot of games from all sorts of genres. Shattered Steel is a BioWare title that got a lot of mileage out of me. I love RTS, TBS, FPS games and flight sims. If the writing talent behind ME1 and ME2 is the storyteller in Anthem... I think I'm going to have a lot of fun. For me, it really depends on the mechanics. If it becomes F2P or Pay2Win, then I'll just drop it. I really hope the game is successful because I'm ready to jack into a power suit and take off. I get the hesitation of co-op or MP because of the "git gud" factor.
