It was mentioned, but buried in the EA play thread. It's good to have attention drawn to this utter farce!

Well yes, it was rather obvious to begin with. "Can be played solo" is something that can be said on almost any MMO game out there, it would even be true, technically. It's a "live service" after all, right?

The Diablo 3 backlash over always online gameplay never materialised and now every company's going to do it  What the always online confirms is that Anthem will not have a true offline Single Player. Of all their talk about being able to play solo, it is clear that this is a MP focused game despite all Bioware's efforts to make us think otherwise. Bioware needs to come clean now about what this game's focus is cause the only thing they are doing now is trying to please both sides. If they just do not come out and be honest, Anthem might have a No Mans Sky type backlash at launch about Bioware lying to them.

That plus the controversies of Andromeda still in the mind of the fanbase and gamers; this announcement will hurt them.

With the controversies of Andromeda still in mind, this will hurt them. And given the thin ice that Bioware is walking on, they cannot afford to have anything "hurt" them.

Don't see the issue. * People are online making these comments. * Excluding those with really shitty internet or scalping data usage plans, but those are just one of those things.

Bioware's never tried to hide that this was MP focused. Indeed, this was always a multiplayer game you could choose to solo. You can't solo Mass Effect multiplayer offline. Nor this.

Bioware's never tried to hide that this was MP focused. The EA Play interview today it seemed as if Bioware was trying so hard to explain that this isnt a MP focused game. I think Mark Darrah even said to paraphrase, "This isnt a MP game with some tacked on story..." And Casey Hudson said, "This isnt a MMO..." And there were other instances where they tried to quell the MP focused fears.

It's a "live service" after all, right? "live service" has nothing to do with online feature, it's just a different term for post-launch support. Dragon Age Origin was "live service" just as much as Anthem will be....and going how slow BioWare are at making content for SWTOR, Anthem will probably get less post-launch content than DAO did actually.

But has Bioware or even EA used that exact terminology to describe Anthem? Pretty much, yes. A shared world you play with friends.
Anyway, being online in integral to the changing 'live services' design. Otherwise, they would have to release patches for everything they wanted to change.

I think it was obvious previous to this. âLive serviceâ, âshared worldâ, âwith friendsâ a lot of that comes with the need to always be online.
We are also in the age where online gaming is growing a lot and itâs easier to manage those things when youâre hooked to servers at all times.
