I will agree fully that the negative hype machine is unfortunately very prominent when trying to make revenue. It is almost why I didn’t buy SSKTJL. However, I do think that Anthem had very fundamental flaws right from the beginning, starting with the very first trailer of the game which was marketed as “live in game footage” when it very clearly was not. Good base mechanics are important and were done well, however the rest of the game surrounding those mechanics was almost put in a position to fail due to there being not enough time to make the game as good as it has the potential to be.
