[@paulhenri210]

It's true it amazes me why it is that we is Gamers put up with this bull crap when it comes to the gaming industry. I'm sick and tired of my most beloved games being screwed over because of these greedy jackasses that are the AAA gaming industry. In Canada we pay $90 for our video games a hell of a lot of money add to that with season passes that sometimes are close to $60 and DLC that is usually 40 to $50 depending on the content and a lot of that content has been crap lately. And then you add to that the DLC and microtransactions that manipulate the game play to progress the game. We put up with a lot as Gamers from the industry and then you add to that the gaming journalists that have their head completely up their ass who criticized us every time we called the industry help for their bad behavior. At some point Something's Gotta Give here I think that the gaming industry is going to self implode one of these days and it's going to come sooner than we think. For the main fact that even the game creators are even fed up with the industry. When you have all of those game creators these qualified game creators leaving the business because it's this bad. The truth is I am not that excited about E3 each year it's getting less and less exciting because it's just more and more lies. Games that are announced never come to fruition half the time and when they do come out there nothing but lies. And the worst part is that even when this game is absolute crap like Anthem we can't even get our money back even with the damn receipt like any other product on the planet. The gaming industry is the only industry that allows this garbage.

It won't because it's technically correct.

[@slayertakim1]

If the article talking about the development of the game has anything to say. Then yes, nearly of this is the fault of the people in charge of the development of this game. Hell is was the EA CEO that got bioware to even do flight as a control scheme.

[@asimmehmood8868]

It is definitely the developers. The story goes about like this. EA funded them based on blind trust believing Bioware would deliver an amazing game after 5 years. Bioware dicks around for 5 years and spends all the money because they can't make up their mind about what they want to make. EA exec shows up after 5 years and asks how the game is going. They show him a barely playable concept and he gets furious. He gives them a deadline after few months or else. Bioware finally get off their lazy asses and create that E3 2017 fake video. EA exec is very impressed and tells them to keep the flying mechanic. The poor guy doesn't even knows it was a fake video. They show it at E3 and claim it is in game footage. Bioware rank and file employees finally find out what they are making and how the game will look. They then start scrambling to finish the game. EA finds out that the game is nowhere near completion so they bring in emergency help from other studios. Bioware still fails to finish the game after almost 7 years and it is launched in its current sorry state. The end of this sad story.

Poghril was a planet in the Pansel System. The Starship The Heart of Gold's Infinite Improbability Drive caused two hundred thirty-nine thousand lightly fried eggs to materialise there. Unfortunately the entire population had died of famine, with the exception of one man who died shortly afterwards of cholesterol poisoning. The Pohgril's, always a pessimistic race, had a riddle. This riddle was the only ray of sunshine in the otherwise rotten life of the Poghrils. One Poghril would say to another: "Why is life like hanging upside down with your head in a bucket of hyena-offal?" "I don't know, why is life like hanging upside down with your head in a bucket of hyena-offal?" "I don't know either. Wretched, isn't it?" (The Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy ~ Douglas Adams)

People can't hold their wads. Combine that with a lawless wild west industry and EA took every advantage they could - including blatant false advertisement. People saying it has "good" this or that are narrow-minded and not looking at the bigger picture: ESA partner companies are continuously pushing their anti-consumerism further and further out while they can - and gamers are so starved for quality they take whatever they can get, even tolerating and compromising with accepting falsely advertised products and abusive consumer practices.
