What Appears to be the Last Guy Running ‘Anthem’ Just Left BioWare

Forbes - "BioWare has lost its Head of Live Service, as Chad Robertson has just left the studio after 14 years. He was last seen running Anthem's live content."

-Foxtrot1729d ago

So Anthem is officially dead then?

Well deader then it was anyway if that was possible.

TheColbertinator1727d ago

Any day now the online future plans of EA will save it. Any day now...

rainslacker1727d ago

Future plans is probably abandoning this game, while pretending they're not, until they come out with the next big thing. GaaS lives on the premise of making everything possible, and hoping one strikes it big.

RememberThe3571727d ago

Looks like either EA wants new blood at BioWare or they're gonna start shutting sh!t down.

UltraNova1726d ago (Edited 1726d ago )

Maybe they were told to start working on Anthem 2 or something similar and they couldn't get pre-production off the ground, again leading to a mass exodus before their name is ruined permanently.

That's like shooting a long-dead corpse then burning it. Sounds like Evil within.

solideagle1726d ago

lol I thought title said the last guy who was playing Anthem has just left. I was like wow only 1 player was playing the game :D

Thunder_G0d_Bane1726d ago

Hahahaha has me cracking uppp

I wonder who are the few actually playing this game

antarius1726d ago

I fired it up a couple weeks ago to see if it was any better. It wasn’t. I still say it’s a shame because the combat system is actually quite enjoyable.

Well EA did say they would be going all in on DA4 but honestly I’ve got no hope for that game either.

Applejack1727d ago

This is the first and last time I get burnt $60 by a game. What a disappointment..

Kabaneri1727d ago (Edited 1727d ago )

Prior to its launch, this game had all the symptoms of a AAA failure, how is this the first game you got burnt on?

antarius1726d ago

Ha. I’ve been burned by plenty. Anthem and Fallout 76 are my most recent Wtf did I buy this for moments.

Brave_Losers_Unite1727d ago (Edited 1727d ago )

Doubt it. If after all the previous crap EA pulled off and it took you this long to figure out that you were scammed, you will just be a victim of another company.

Applejack1727d ago

This was the first Bioware game I’ve ever bought and the first EA game I bought since the early ps3 days, so I figured I might get some value from it but obviously that wasn’t the case. Thanks for sharing though.

NXFather1727d ago

Well when you saw it had like only 3 maps that should have been your first clue. Sorry though.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 8h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 8h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 8h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing12h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

shinoff21831d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I hope not.

just_looken21h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper20h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 11h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 11h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 10h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 9h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 8h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
