If Anthem fails EA will just close BioWare without a thought like they’ve done to a dozen other studios in the past.2) They haven’t announced Anthem as having loot boxes or microtransactions. It very likely won’t have the former as they’re increasingly unpopular. So the fairlure of one game will have zero impact on that. 3) Always online gameplay isn’t going away because piracy isn’t going away and games are expensive. And the ability to jump into a friend’s game is convenient, as is getting help to beat a hard mission or boss. I love the idea of a multiplayer BioWare game.4) Anthem has probably been in development since 2012 when Mass Effect 3 came out and the initial conception likely predated Destiny. It will take more than the failure of Anthem to end EA. Much more. EA isn’t going anywhere. They’re too big.The failure of Anthem will likely mean the end of the DragonAge franchise as we know it. And that will make me sad.</blockquote>
