norma13+FollowDid Anthem Chase FIFA-Style Profits?Anthem’s rise and fall is a case study in what happens when a beloved studio pivots to chase blockbuster profits. BioWare’s leadership pitched Anthem as the next big thing—imagine their signature storytelling, but built for always-online, live-service play, and massive revenue. But can you really engineer a hit by chasing someone else’s numbers, or does it kill the creative spark? Would Anthem have worked if it stuck to BioWare’s roots? #Games #VideoGames #BioWare00Share

Would you have preferred a pure single-player experience, or is live service the future? Let’s debate! #DragonAge #BioWare #GameDevelopment #LiveServiceGames #GamingDebate #Games00Share
