Had I been interested in it though, the fact that EA is behind it would not factor into my purchase decision. The inclusion of loot boxes and similar slimy business practices, would immediately deter me from buying it though. But since none have been announced for Anthem so far, the OP seems to be jumping the gun a little.The OP seems to be on some strange crusade against EA. But sticking it to Bioware is doing nothing to help that cause. Bioware has made some incredible games over the years (some of which are among my favorites), so I don't see why trying to get a lot of talented people at that studio to lose their jobs is useful, or deserving.Dragonage 2 was a bit disappointing, but probably due to a rushed release schedule. That stuff happens in game development, especially when working on big triple-A titles. Mass Effect 2 on the other hand was amazing. Lots of people tend to forget that up to the ending, Mass Effect 3 is also pretty good, as is Dragon Age 3. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't be wary for consumer exploitation, such as with Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 recently. But I think it is more useful to just not buy games containing this sort of of exploitation.The OP sounds a bit fanatical in his crusade against EA, so I can see why a lot of people have been posting snarky responses in this thread.</blockquote>
