If you think about it, EA's focus has always been investors first. Every game policy reflects this. Financial quarter after quarter confirmed constant online revenue, after game sales.
BF V reflects this policy and so will Anthem.

BF V's decision to include an active female soldier, in a WW 2 setting, is raising ugly heads. The game studio wants realism with an Indiana Jones theme. Unfortunately, I think their marketing failed to sell the game as fantasy and this is the result.
Anthem won't have this problem.

Anthem won't have this problem. This is nothing new for the Battlefield franchise. You should have seen the uproar over making the Medic black ...

American soldiers had to be educated about that in 1943... specifically from 25.00, though the whole film is interesting. (I'm sure at the time people complained about the 'SJWs' ruining this film... )

The only bit I agree on is that the marketing is failing to sell the idea. Otherwise, the charges of it not being historically accurate and all that, frankly people need to get over it as the games have never been fully accurate in the first place. They just decide to market that aspect now because it's going to sell them cosmetics. That's the real takeaway, Anthem is going to likely going to showcase a lot of customizables.

(I'm sure at the time people complained about the 'SJWs' ruining this film... ) Very telling how the video says "this might happen at home but the point is we're not at home..." A lot of the old training videos and 1940s propaganda films were purposefully trying to be color-blind as much as possible to sell the war...sadly after it, and after many blacks fought for what they saw as their chance to be equals in the eyes of the law in the U.S...the fight needed to continue. In some ways i'm glad we have move beyond that to an extant. In others, it's sad we are so suspect of it being more of the norm. Anyway enough of the melancholy, it's memorial day.

Dragon Age 4 will have a first-person mode Maker, is there no justice left?

Outside of cosmetics, I wouldn't be surprised if a revenue builder for Anthem will be a season pass, ala Destiny.

The trailer pretty much looks like BF1 to me. Only with different skins and vehicles. And cannonfodder germans.

Battlefront II may turn out to be the best thing to happen to Anthem. Far enough away from the car crash to not run into the back of it. Not so far away that they get cocky again... I wouldn't start celebrating just yet. There's a long time between the SWBF2 debacle (which is already fading) and when Anthem ships. Then add on the delay before more egregious RR features are added post-launch, and we could be looking at a year+. Plenty of time for EA to devise new ways to extract more money, or at least, camouflage what they're doing. As for the OP, I'm heartened that one of the things I suggested in the What EA/Bioware should say about recurring revenue before Anthem's release thread, a definitive statement of no pay-to-win, was said about BFV, although they fell short of adding "forever". I'm disheartened by the lack of commitment on not adding more RR features in the future. So that's what BFV can really tell us about Anthem. How long after launch before they start slipping in more profitable (read, exploitative) RR features? That will give us a good yard stick for Anthem. That's true, but the decisions are not made at release. They had do commit to one way or the other some time ago. Whether it was the right one we'll see.

Honestly I'd give it a dislike. Maybe its my age creeping up on me but it was so chaotic I couldn't track what was going on half the time. If the game is anything like that I'd suck hard.
