Okay... why is this video treating GaaS games like they're something new in principle? Games as a service occupy around the same space as MMOs - games that usually require even more engagement than a typical live service game*. This is by no means a new problem and Bioware has managed to create a MMO during the MMO craze era that is still going and brought over a billion of $ in revenue.
Also - Bioware as 'shadows of their former selves'? It wasn't that long before MEA that they released their most successful title to date. Making claims like that only because MEA may not have been as good as their previous offerings and with Andromeda being nowhere near as disastrous a game as recent releases from no less acclaimed studios only proves how ridiculously high standards are still applied to Bioware.
*(comparing games like Anthem and Division to Fortnite or Overwatch? I don't want to make it seem like these games aren't huge or people don't play them for weeks or months, but they have a decidedly shorter gameplay loop)

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
From the Academy Award-nominated director of District 9, Elysium, and Chappie comes a story set in the rich world of Anthem created by BioWare. Neill Blomkamp (with Oats Studios) and BioWare present Conviction, an Anthem story told in live-action.
In Anthem, players must venture into an evolving, living world and battle the dangers that threaten the safety of the people in Fort Tarsis. Through exploring the world, completing missions, and protecting humanity, players are introduced to intriguing characters and a unique BioWare story.
In Conviction, Neill explores the vast world of BioWare’s Anthem through a new narrative set decades before the beginning of the game. Neill’s live-action short is a chance to see the world of Anthem through a different lens, with stunning locations, new characters, and a new story.
Blomkamp’s 15-year career as a director has always been highlighted by his skill at creating photorealistic visual effects and bringing them seamlessly into the real world. In 2017, he founded his own studio, Oats Studios, in order to create more experimental short films and hone his mastery of visual effects.
Odenforsaken/BastionDrake @odenforsaken @benirvo I asked this on the #anthemgame Twitter but I figured I would ask you directly. Are we likely to ever run into you or the other devs in game I think it would be awesome to see you guys javing it up with us normal folk lol. Also PC for life lol. Cant wait.
Ben Irving @benirvo 100% but you will never know
Benoit Houle @benoit_Houle We *may* have a special Javelin decal....
BioWare @bioware Need a contract completed quickly? Crunched for time? If you'd hired a speedy Interceptor, you'd be done by now. #AnthemGame 📷@henchstudios

Michael Newsom @spartan901 can you say at what point in the campaign we’ll have the 2 vinyls that were shown as rewards from the VIP weekend? Would it be as soon as we get access to customizing our first javelin?
Ben Irving @benirvo I believe that is correct

Anthem @anthemgame TOMORROW: @benirvo and @crobertson_atx will be livestreaming at 1:30PM PT/3:30PM CT and taking players through some updates coming to #AnthemGame while playing as the #ColossusExo
So … does this come out of the advertising budget or is this part of game development?
Asking, because folks have at times been critical of the pre-release PR …
This would be a big (and expensive) deal, though if it's online, maybe not paying for TV ad space makes it a wash.
On the other hand, if it's part of the game development … story content. I look at that as a hopeful sign.
Of course … why not both?
Why not both indeed.
99% sure it's both. Unless it is specifically EA branded marketing, rather than Anthem branded, it wouldn't be separated out of the operational budget for developing the game. Even if marketing and development are separate business units with separate P&Ls, there'd be some kind of budget transfer/cost sharing deal, or else the P&L for the marketing side would get all the L and none of the P.
Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!
