Ass kissing and credit stealing to career advancement eventually leads to competency bankruptcy.
All the idea people have long since been driven out or moved on.

I only played a bit of the beta but the world looked cool and the combat seemed fun.
Ubisoft did the same with The Division. It did a complete re-think on most of the systems with 1.4. It seemed to work. However, the difference was Division had more active players at the time.
However, if the games rethink turns out a much better product and they release it on Game Pass....it could start something good.
Will be interesting to see how the rework goes. Another thing that makes this a bit of a different situation is that a new console generation is coming soon, probably before Anthem's rework is complete, so that makes me wonder what kind of strategy they will have to deal with the fact that many players who bought the game will have moved on to a new platform. I wonder if they will try to release this new Anthem as a new game, or if it will be a free update, and how the new console generation will play into that plan.
I hope they are able to get the game in a better state. It seemed like a cool premise - an mmo shooter with a good single player story. I hope one day they can realize that idea.
Reworks generally work out don't they for similar type games?
I assume the amount of money that was put into this game requires EA to make an effort to fix it. It probably only requires a small group of people to make these changes.
I read that the team reworking it isn't the main team, but Bioware Austin, which makes sense since they have experience in the online RPG genre already by running SWTOR.
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
While I agree with everything you said. It's more than it simply being a live service game that made it bad.
They blatantly lied about 100% of the game. Even the demo we saw was basically a proof of concept. Then what we actually got was hot garbage. How is it possible to make a BIOWARE game where the choices are minimal and the ones you do make don't matter? That's like making a Battle Royale with only 10 people, and they're all computer controlled but you. What's the point?

What, you guys don't like grinding and would rather be immersed in the worlds? You guys are weird but fine, here's more of your disgusting single player but you'll regret when crashed servers can't close your games! Heathens.

Grinding is so much fun. Way better than being able to fly for more than 2 minutes. Or having a deep, immersive, branching storyline. Or worldbuilding. Screw all that hipster crap. Repetition is the name of the game.
As long as the game is upfront on what it is..I have no problem with a grind heavy game.
I played the shit out of Division 1 and Division 2. I find them fun and was immersed in the world the devs tried to create. You can have both. A grind heavy game but with singleplayer missions and immersion.
Obviously my issue isn't grinding. My issue was that Anthem was basically the opposite of what you're talking about. It's 100% grind with nothing else. No story. No choices. No lore. No world building. All you do is fly...for a few seconds then run and jump the rest of the way to the next area where you fight enemy waves and try to get a new tier of your same gun.
