No, that was separate. The tweet was actually posted first, I think. That's my point... it was a valid leak, wasn't it?... and the thread got some pretty strong reactions. Neither is a valid leak and the reaction to the brothel tweet wasn't strong -- BUT, your argument is still valid. The reaction to the hoax was very strong, which is even more bizarre, since the chance that it's fake is really high. Why get worked up over something that has a high probability of being a fake? Before going off on the leaks tangent, you said I think that's a valid concern. Haters are gonna hate. I think you can make a stronger connection to Anthem, though. If Anthem is a failure -- either real or manufactured -- it could have a domino effect on the success of DA4. I think that's a much more significant risk than the normal, everyday hating that occurs in the run-up to a release of anything.

If it has enough meat to it, besides combat...the setting, chars, quests or story, etc. Don't like what they said, stuff happens because it happens.
Too many good SP games to be buggered with loot grinders.

I think that's a much more significant risk than the normal, everyday hating that occurs in the run-up to a release of anything. I'm not that sure that whether or not Anthem catches on with this particular crowd is as much a harbinger of DA4's success or failure (with respect to how it might be received by the fans) as you're saying. They are simply games that are generally going to appeal to different groups of gamers; and that is being reflected here as a number of people are simply saying they aren't interested in multiplayer games. Certainly, if Anthem is a total flop such that the financial viability of the company gets thrown into questionable territory, it could have an impact in that Bioware may not get the chance ot survive long enough to get DA4 to release.

If it's a quality game that can be played either by myself or with friends, I'll give it a shot. I've enjoyed every BioWare game I've ever played, including ME:A and TOR, so I don't see why I wouldn't give it a shot.
I've heard a lot of people saying that BioWare is taking a stab at a Destiny/Division style audience or that it's trying to be a "Destiny killer" but the only people saying this are those who've seen a 6 minute trailer with not much else to go on. Honestly, I hope it's more engaging than Destiny otherwise I probably won't be too into it. I gave Destiny a shot on multiple occasions the last of years and it never grabbed me. Hopefully, this will be different.
Consider me tentatively hyped

Not a big fan of MP. So, depends on how much I can do alone. And what the demos look like closer to release.

If it has a great single player mode, with good story, I'll consider buying it. MP does not appeal to me in the slightest.
Nothing I've heard so far (which admittedly is not much) makes me very interested in the game as of now.
No matter how good a game it turns out to be, I will not buy it at launch at full price. I'll wait until it goes on sale and they've got all of the launch bugs worked out. If they get them worked out.

If Bioware had agreed to do 2 DLC's for ME:A (Quarian Ark and The Benefactor), i would have considered buying Anthem. Not now though. I can see they have no loyalty to the fans who made them rich.

No, not really.
It has nothing to do with "Anthem is the reason why Andromeda failed " but because I'm not really interested in MP games.

The question I will ask is this. Do you think the Edmonton Team wanted anything to do with Mass Effect after how people reacted to Mass Effect 3? They wanted to move on to another game. If you think one group is people are required to make the exact product you want all the time while ignoring what others want then you might want to enter game development yourself to show them how it is done.

So far it hasn't impressed me. Just looks like a giant open world, albeit very pretty. They were clearly trying to show off their graphics and various mechanics like flight and swimming, but since the MPer medium is not good for story, this sort of game needs engaging, addictive, and well paced gameplay. I find it hard to believe they will deliver that, it looked anything but well paced for instance.

Not something to brag about. I don't give a damn if people misunderstands piracy. And EA doesn't deserve a penny. Pirating them is legitimate defense Stealing stuff has a legitimate defense? I disagree. I'm not going to judge people's personal circumstances if they feel that piracy is the only way they can access content. However, that's not the same as trying to make a public moral argument (from a position of anonymity of course) to justify such theft. Those types of arguments usually look like pathetic excuses from entitled assholes to me. Seems fairly academic as Anthem's online requirements will make piracy a bit more tricky, yes?

Depending on the corporation. If someone robbed a corrupt politician, could you blame them? I wouldn't. In my country we have a saying: "A thief who robs another thief is granted 100 years of forgiveness" (It really makes more sense in portuguese). In my opinions, some companies deserve to be pirated. Mass Effect: Andromeda is the example of a game that deserves to be pirated, because it isn't worth a penny. Putting people who acquire pirate content as "thieves" is just dumb. Seriously, go read books and articles about it: Piracy actually helps more than it harms. No wonder, for example, that the episode of Game of Thrones that leaked on the web was the one that had most audience on the TV on the show's history.

I have more issues with the virtue signaling than the actions that circumstances lead folks to take sometimes (particularly is some territories). Piracy (looks like theft to me) isn't something to take pride in or endorse, in my view. Anyway, we've successfully shared our perspectives without killing each other, so as this isn't a 'piracy thread', I suggest we let others talk about Anthem purchase now...

Most gamers really have no respect for EA (they even blame Bioware's fall on EA). That's what may make """""stealing""""" from them justified. There are games that just aren't worth the money. But in my case is just that I don't have money to buy many games, to be honest. Just wanted to make myself clear before ending the discussion.

Honestly if that is how you feel, please don't just single out EA in this discussion for I have had game breaking bugs from nearly every developer and publisher I have bought games from, its not just them and saying they are doing it just to make more money frankly you can also say that about any publisher too for the entire industry is about making profits.

If you hold tyat opinion im guessing you also hold it with Activision, Bethesda an Ubisoft? I mean seriously EA is less crocked than them 3 an actually tries harder yet gets shit on far worse, Bethesda release some of the most broken games on release an continually try to monetize the mods yet there praised? Ubisoft? Farcry? Watchdogs? Assassin Creed? CMON, i seriously dont get the ea hate anymore while to me these 3 publishers are worse

Nah, I don't plan on purchasing Anthem. Not as a protest though, I actually hope the game does well for BioWare, but because the premise of the game doesn't do anything for me. I'm just not interested in that part of the SF/F genre.

No plans to buy on launch. No faith in Bioware to deliver a product worth my money.
That said, I would consider checking out a beta if one were to be open to the public, because I don't believe in completely writing games off before playing them.
