It’s not too big of a surprise to hear Anthem has lost a lot of its players (Me being one of them), but lots of people claim they have an extremely low player count 4 months after launch.

So I went to go do some research of my own, so I started off on Twitch and what I saw was a shocker… On a Sunday (Which is a very popular day to stream) May 26th 5:12 PM, Anthem only had 111 Viewers…

Obviously, Twitch is not the “End All Be All” for determining if a Game is good or not. But Twitch is a good tool to use when determining if a game is popular or not!

Along with that, came a bundle of videos claiming that Anthem has really hit an all-time low. Youtubers like LegacyKillaHD and Inside Gaming explained how bad things are for EA currently. Here are their videos:

But my search didn’t stop there, I even went onto the forums of Reddit along with checking the price at GameStop.

Xbox players claim that Anthem averages less than 2,500 players and the prices for both Legendary and Standard Anthem are almost the same…

Leaks and Rumors!

According to MMOG Fails, he states ” I was also told that the leadership at BioWare is actually blaming the players (their customers) and the “vitriol” they spew as the reason of why the game is not selling as well as it should.”

Is it true that they are blaming their players? Honestly, I really believe that’s the case. Think of it like this, what’s the first thing your teammates do when they to lose?

Blame everyone besides themselves, this is not always the case but I wouldn’t be too surprised if MMOG spoke the truth about Bioware’s leadership. He also mentions that the way Anthem is going, it may become Free To Play soon.

Enough of the rumors, let’s talk about what Bioware plans to do when it comes to fixing Anthem. Saying anything, informing everyone about upcoming updates, or just communicating with its community doesn’t seem to be in the books of Bioware.

For example, they haven’t posted for a whole month just about on Twitter. “Maintenance is complete” seems to make the community happy, right?

Either way, Anthem has to fully fix their Loot system which is rumored to be receiving a full re-work soon!

Maybe that will bring back players including myself, but until then I will be typing “/mute all” in League of Legends to avoid toxicity!
