So? Having three at launch is still very limited and will lead players away from the game very quickly. Unless they can add them very fast, this will be a problem. It might be an issue maybe, but hopefully strongholds isn't the only endgame thing there is to begin with.if a strongholds is supposed to be equivalent to a raid, then 3 is already better than the one destiny keeps putting out on it's launch's. To me there needs to be more than just the strongholds for endgame and if not then Bioware better be putting them out in adequate time. Strongholds are more like strikes.
Anthem currently has no equivalent to Destiny raids. There is a video where Ben Irving talks about 'aspirational content' which he likens to 'raids'. He alludes that these are most likely coming later on.

Can I get a link to the confirmation of only 3 Strongholds at launch? I'm going to owe someone some money ...

I’m mainly skeptical because I don’t think this is my type of game. But even if it were 3 strikes seems super limiting especially in conjunction with the focus on only having one character.

Without being funny, Anthem looks like improved Andromeda with IronMan mod. Looks great, but boring. No biotics makes it a downgrade imo.

No biotics makes it a downgrade imo. Most certainly, there will be more classes in the future. There won't be no Turians or Asari but they certainly plan to introduce some infiltrators, weapon-oriented marksmen, hybrids, etc. Additional lore development will open new options, locations, etc., aka Warframe. It is an endless process. IDK about biotics specifically, however, some suite modes with warp or singularity are certainly possible and are probably already work in progress. The only real limitation is suits and more suits since apparently, "naked" people without suits cannot simply fly around and even survive in the world. Basically, any outside activity requires suits.

Eventually they might add suits that feel different enough. But honestly now it seems so basic mmo style it seems boring. Especially given the range of abilities being so small. And even outside that I do think the combat looks worse than MEA. They were pretty much just moving around and shooting things. I mean that’s ratchet and clank level combat. MEA has a good balance between mobility and cover which adds depth to the combat. I just see running around in this one. It doesn’t feel like it has the same depth.

Between the demo launch issues and the anthem website (for retrieving friend codes) not really working correctly I think the ammunition for skeptics has just increased by a large margin. It's hard to fault them now for saying: "You shouldn't pre-order." and "Don't buy the game at launch." With my favorite game devs I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Bethesda used theirs up with Fallout 76. They are buy games on sale only now. Bioware is pushing it today. We'll see how things go later on in the afternoon and tomorrow and then finally at launch but I am feeling a little bit let down at the moment.
EDIT: Brightside: lesson learned.

Biotics = space magic = shaper technology Javelin: Storm The storms closer parallel is the engineer imo. Lift/pull, throw, singularity are probably the coolest thing in games in the last decade. Probably the best telekinetic bad ass moves in gaming.

Customer service fact:
A disappointed customer who is subsequently satisfied becomes more loyal than one who didn't have the issues at all.
But the satisfying part needs to be done really well (and ideally should include gifts).

But the satisfying part needs to be done really well (and ideally should include gifts). I always like to deal with the angriest customers at work and make things right for them for this exact reason. I don't always succeed but when I can turn a sour situation into a win it feels like I win double, and it just feels good to have someone who starts off basically wanting to smash my face in (hyperbole, mostly) shake my hand and smile when I'm done.

They had issues launching the Andromeda demo as well thanks to their shit client. Not being able to launch this when it's not even near full player capacity is a bad sign.

Remember dragon Ball z demo? All them people in the social hub. 100k+ people online and connected to the servers, not one problem reported. It can be done, EA servers just suck ass cheeks.
