[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7568144, member: 37579"] Oh my gosh! You mean a public stress test beta of an online game might have been shaky?! Oh my word. I must clutch my pearls for now I have the vapors. It's a 60 on Metacritic. It's overwhelmingly "mixed" but far, far from the terrible you are claiming. Funny how in your rant you never ONCE mention the scores of YouTube reviewers giving [I]Anthem[/I] good reviews. You're clearing coming into this with some bias to ignore those. It's #11 right now. It's position will wax and wane during days. But the Top 5 tend to be a fairly firm lock of Overwatch and Fortnight. With PUB and Black Ops. Anthem was never going to crack that. So because [I][B]YOU[/B][/I] don't like [I]Anthem[/I], [I]Dragon Age[/I], and studio anymore 800 people have to lose their jobs, likely having to relocate themselves and their families to new cities to find work in their chosen career, and everyone who is attached to the game has to lose something they enjoy. Get. Over. Yourself. No one is making you play the game. It doesn't impact you life one iota if you hate it. There are lots of other games on the market, both new and classic. More games than any one person could ever play. I'm willing to bet you have a half-dozen excellent games in your Steam queue that you haven't even bothered installing let alone 100%ing. If you don't like [I]Anthem[/I] then don't play it. Find something you do like and leave it alone for the people who do. Move on with your life and stop dwelling on the one game you hate. Grow the :):):):) up. [/QUOTE]
