There's a lot of hate going on YouTube and social media about Anthem solely because it's being published by EA. The identity politics being applied to it is just ridiculous. Even with all the dev involvement with the community, the consistent feedback, the livestreams, the roadmap, the launch support and content, the end-game; all of this and still people who haven't even played the demo are receiving it poorly all because of 2 freaking letters.
Despite all of the undeserved negativity, the community has seen through it (especially here on this subreddit) and sees Anthem for what it is: an awesome new IP that's letting all of us fulfill our Ironman dreams. What's more is BioWare has taken all the bad press like champs and continued to fine tune the game into something awesome. My friends and I played both demos and the remarkable improvements they made with the demos alone was nothing short of dedication and commitment to quality.
I can't speak for this entire subreddit, but I can say from the 6 of us who will be dropping in on the 22nd (omg... less than 2 weeks!!!)...
THANK YOU, BIOWARE for pressing on through all the hate to provide us an awesome game to binge for months to come!
I mean, they are alright, I guess.
