Anthem is a disaster of epic proportions. Even the developers think the game is a giant meme.

Lots of you asking me questions about BioWare and what is happening there. I only have one source in the company, and they are a bit worried about outside contact at this time.

A recent internal memo told them to not talk to anyone unless they have something good to say, so I will respect that.
As you may recall from an article I wrote over a year ago, BioWare had management issues, I just didn't grasp how bad things truly were, and memos like that prove that nothing changed.

So one of the big things EA wanted from Anthem, was to make the game "Unmemeable". That didn't quite succeed, and is in itself a meme.

If you play Anthem, you probably already know about one of its main problems.
Basically, the running joke is that the loot system broken and there is no excitement when opening a chest.
Simply put: loot drops are generic junk with no fix in sight.
In a recent live stream of upcoming content, the developers themselves opened a chest, and one could be heard saying "Open the chest and jump away from it."

So as you can see, the developers know too well that the loot is garbage, and the game is nothing but a giant meme. All of this is made even more troubling by the fact that Anthem's entire road map has been delayed indefinitely. One can't help but wonder how EA is feeling about all of this and what their reaction will be.
