    Was it ever actually alive?

      What is dead may never die.

  The fuck? I never knew it was still running. I thought it went down as soon as the game bombed?

  Thought for sure I heard they were shutdown ages ago, guess not.

  I actually loved the mechanics of this game, the gunplay and flying controls were so tight

    I was hoping EA would greenlight the overhaul project, as I also really liked the flight and combat. I understand why they didn’t, but it still sucks to see this.

      unfortunately there’s a nearly 0% chance that such a project would make the kind of money that EA wants from their games

    For real, it was legitimately a fun game. I still love the Interceptor. I should redownload it and take some pics before the servers die

  It is still running??

  Long enough to be legal to do so I’m sure. They probably wanted to shut them down the day they cancelled the overhaul update

  Lmao. Ubi shuts down The Crew, but EA is like, “idk, give anthem another 6 months.”

  • KokoSabreScruffy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The Crew(2014-2024) lasted a bit more than Anthem (2019-2026) . And Ubi seems to stick for longer with their flops compared to EA.

  I’m likely in the minority here, but I really enjoyed my time with Anthem.

  Since it was shitcanned months after release, there simply was not enough content to keep playing… But what was there always felt special.

    Agreed. It felt like such a waste of potential.

    My only gripe is that the game gave me all kinds of freedom choose my character’s backstory, but I had to treat Owen like he was some kinda moron. Motherfucker let me give him my Colossus, I never use it and he will be impervious in it

• the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m amazed they are still running
