I thought they shut the servers down. So how would you even play?

IIRC they only stopped development (including bug fixes) for the game.

So the slightly modified question is: how long will the servers still be up until EA shuts them down forever?

A Steam release wouldn't have magically made it a better game.

Somehow I think that worked out for Fallout76. I remember seeing it on top sale at some point. Either people trying it out under the 2 hours for refunds and/or players actually sticking to it afterwards. So it would help Anthem to some extend.

Unlike Bethesda EA didn't have the intention to salvage the situation and try to fix it .. that is why they didn't bring Anthem to Steam.

The difference is that Bethesda continued working on the game, listened to players, and after patches it became a good game. EA didn't even try.

I bought Anthem in Januari (this year) with a simular deal and liked it a lot. it's a good game. There aren't many people playing anymore but i was still able to find players to run strongholds (4 player coop dungeons). I played the whole campaign in solo mode which I enjoyed very much. All in all I got around 160 hours of play time before I got bored with the end game content, so definitely got my moneys worth out of it.
I don't know how many players there are at the moment and if it's easy to find groups now.
Shame they don't develop this game anymore. It's a very good game. Flying around in a iron man suit through jungles and around huge 'alien' buildings was asome.

I played it (and 100%ed its achievements) back in 2019 during a free period of EA Play ("Origin Access Basic" back then) .. had put around the same play time as you (164hrs)

Despite the many frustrating moments (mostly for the ridiculous amount of freezes I encountered) it was a decent enjoyable gameplay
I hope they use that jetpack flying in the next Mass Effect

Thanks! This deal is good enough for me to grab honestly. Two things hold me back though: I have a huge backlog already and I sense it might be given away sooner or later ala other EA games like DA Inquisition and Star Wars Squadrons.

I would be really surprised if they ever give it on prime gaming, EA is "embarrassed" with Anthem.

Maybe a discreet giveaway on EA app/Origin that not many will notice

I played the 10h trial thanks to Origin Access when it launched. They purposedly added a mission to make us waste time so they made sure we didn't finish the campaign in the trial. I can understand that.

I got EA Play many months later. I was more or less at the end of the campaign, but the menu and stuff had changed and couldn't find where to continue and finish the campaign, only free-roaming missions. So I ended up leaving the campaign unfinished.

I liked the game and wanted to love it, but its bad release wasted the experience and its fame.

second to last mission requires you to kill some big-a5* enemies to gain some resources and go into the portal or whatever. Doesnt show up as main story mission nor is it selectable, you just had to figure it out.

I remember the las video I saw, not gonna tell who but I was betrayed by a character. That person who performed the betrayal took something very important from me.

Are we talking about the same situation?

Nah, the one I'm describing is after you meet this guy again. Have you checked out the hub area? Some of the missions do not appear there, even the main ones (had to follow the guide to complete the thing)

Only 3 buck for the "deluxe" and it still feels like it would be money down the toilet. Almost tempted but... yeah probably not.

Why would a new update confirm Anthem for Steam but an update 1.5 weeks ago doesn't mean much? What are you even trying to get at?

there are more games in steamdb and they are old, only anthem is from newer ones
there more older packages for some games and they havent been released on steam, so package being on steamdb means not that much since its not update as u can see. :(

Bizarre, they decide to give up on the game and then nine months later they put it on steam. Masterful long term planning FTW.

Feels like even for that money it isn't worth. If they decide to shut down the server which could be soon since the game is pretty much dead you won't be able to run the game since it's always online.
