That's basically what happened to Guerilla Games and Killzone 2 for that notorious E3 showcase. They knew that wasn't real gameplay and never meant that to go out to public and a Sony marketing guy put it in the reel at the last minute so they were surprised watching it with everyone else. It's literally false advertising (many people were only interested in Anthem because of that original E3 trailer, I know I was because the flying and movement looked a certain way that they completely removed after) and wish these companies would be held responsible or that the devs would be honest that they weren't going to be able to hit that or that it was just a proof of concept.
Jesus, I didn't even think about it that way. These poor people. Please for the love of fuck, game developers, unionize. And if they try to shut you out, keep trying to unionize. Never stop. Because if it's not clear by now that employers are not going to stop fucking you over, I don't know when it will be.
@16Notepads I'm glad to hear that. That said, I'm guessing I know where your hesitation toward unions in general, considering how comprehensive and effective anti-union propaganda has been in the US over decades. As I understand, companies basically represent unions as the worst-case-scenario, focusing only on perceived negatives, spun to make it seem like they are a terrible thing for workers and play on the fact that people like to think they are better than each other (e.g. the whole "unions allow people to be lazy and those lazy people take advantage of the hardworking ones" trope - points like this I'm sure fail to look at more than one example of a union or address any factor other than throwing out the easily swallow-able character judgment of 'lazy' people who are 'freeloaders').
A Time For Wolves Gotta give the Bioware team some credit. What they did in 1 year is make a pretty good skeleton of a game. Like Warframe back in 2013. Go F2P and just add stuff over time and look at over games and work off that. Or use the skeleton as basics for Anthem 2. Watchdogs 2 Titanfall 2, Division 2 and quite a few games this generation first game sucked but the second one was everything the first game was supposed to be.
Pretty spot on lol. And what an amazingly written article... someone / ppl should really make a documentary of it (and the complete and utter decline of BioWare)
@@Geneforson what a downward spiral its been... I stopped buying their games after the mass effect 3 ending. Red, blue, or green. I'll never get over that lol
This reminds me of my dad. He’d been a chemical engineer in the refining industry for his whole life. He’d risen to be a huge name in the industry. When it came time to retire, his coworkers tried to find his big mistakes and add up how much his mistakes had cost the company... but they couldn’t find anything. He’d been working for 50 years and never had a single mistake. They asked him how he could do that and he responded roughly: “Oh I made plenty of mistakes. I was just smart enough to trust the people working under me even if they didn’t have a fancy degree and to take their feedback into consideration every time. The reason why I never made a mistake after the fact is that the labourers below me helped catch all my mistakes before it became a problem.” I’ve always taken that to heart and it sounds like BioWare needs to learn from that.
Buck Main thanks! Always appreciated! He was a far better old man than I could have ever asked for. He passed away a few years ago but it’s always awesome that he helps me today! I’m glad someone appreciates his wisdom and might benefit from it too!
Mad respect for you & him for this. I know I'm kinda few months late replying, but that sounds to me like the term "Teamwork makes the dream work." I live by that saying sometimes when I need it as a motivator to keep me going through my day.
no one in their right mind actually thought that a game by EA and Bioware would be any good. thank fuck i just 3rd party bough battlefront for 1£ cause that game is a disgrace as well.
EA: "Howdy Bioware, how's it going with that title we ordered 7 years ago. Is it done?" Bioware: "We finished the loading screen." EA: "Ok, let's release it!"
I think Joe made a fair point here though where EA is like "We gave you 7 years to work on this, you had more than enough time" and it makes me kinda worry for future EA games even more cause the next time an EA game is rushed and someone calls them out on it they can so easily go "Well we didn't rush Anthem and look what happened to that game." I feel like Anthem just solidified that EA will never learn it's lesson and every developer they own is doomed.
Bioware was fucking around for 7 years not doing shit for anthem and EA had to push it out. FYI Every game development has a time it needs to be done and finished by released day. So i'm not blaming EA on this one
@@600mikey I somehow agree but at the same time, Andromeda was released in 2017 and we don't know if Bioware had enough resources for Anthem during these 7 years. Maybe it was just a few junior developers who never used Dice Engine before. Maybe if EA had released ONE game instead of Andromeda AND Anthem, we would have at least one good game.
What bummed me the most is the excuse for Mass Effect: andromeda was so bad is because Bioware said their A-Team was working on something bigger and better, witch turned out to be Anthem....
EA: Hey Bioware, we want you to make a brand new IP. Now don't worry we'll give you plenty of time, so make it a big one. *Years later* EA: where's our game? Bioware: what game?
oh sorry our direction leader left about 4-5 years ago and we've had no direction since. plz tell us what game u want it to be. EA: oh the flying looks cool. what about a flying looter shooter? Bioware: but we're an rpg company? EA: Not anymore ur not. GTFO Bioware: loses 20 more employees.

@@mainmanmagellan3803 Yeah, you realize that flying wasn't part of the original game design right? you actually have an EA Executive to thank for that. They playtested the game and said it would be cool if you could fly, and that they should add it.

@@Nickyreaper2008 Everyone's acting like this news is a revelation but yeah, like you said, anyone with an inkling of observational skills regarding video game trends can see these problems are cropping up as a pattern with obvious causes.
I love how people like to call Joe “overly antagonistic” and that his reviews “are too harsh and opinionated” and yet not ONLY did he 150% predict the current generation of games as a service run by microtransactions way back in the day, but he predicted the Xbox’s abandonment of the Kinect, their change in DRM policies even though major Nelson straight up was AGGRESSIVE towards him when he said it’s as simple as flipping a switch. And now he’s guessed EXACTLY what went on in this studio LOL. Guy seriously knows his shit 😂😂

@@RUMELDS Oh I agree the story just wasn't there to me, Ryder didn't seem important or serious at all and the side characters didn't help. I was expecting to come across more decisions where lives were at stake and tensions were growing..... not a movie night and puzzles.
@@RUMELDS YES!! Customization and story choices are the main reason why I stick with RPGs. If I'm fighting fantasy creatures then I want to be black too. At this point I'm hoping that one of the indy studios will make a scifi Rpg that could improve the old Mass effect idea.
@@RUMELDS considering ea officially cancelled the andromeda ip and froze the property, i doubt there will ever be another mass effect anything, at least during the 2020's
@@ashleydavis5559 I found some of the characters fine and likeable but most were garbage fillers and clearly added as token chars. Felt a weaker version of ME1 which was very bland but with a ton of lore hidden. What killed Andromeda for me, was the giant maps (which have the same style as in inquisition) . But with less uniquedness for secondary and tertiary missions. Bonus objectives and randomly generated missions were an absolutely shitfest specially VOELD. Then in the story.. you find that almost all your actions at first are useless. because you're not really an explorer.. others already discovered the places you are going. There are already other humans everywhere.. the only unique thing was the missions with the robotic thingies whose name I do not remember right now and the first contact on Jaal's homeworld and Aya. all the other worlds? had the taint of humans already making the supposed "you're an explorer" feel like a lie.
Joshua Lagrimas In any case, fuck EA anyway. Them not causing the problem this time doesn’t spare them from the things they have caused for everything else
You act like Joe's circle jerk can kill a company. Its fucking Bioware. We will just see another no mans sky where it will be a finished product in about 2 years and continue to grow.
That's funny. That's like trying to make a game that can't be cracked. Or can't be speedrunned. Listen, you can delay the inevitable, but there's no stopping it. Where there's a will, there's a way.
I'm wondering if there are other people working as software engineers who also feel for this. I've worked in places where a whole team spent a month on a sprint only for it to be changed during the day of the release. Devs backed up their code on multiple branches in case upper management backpedaled on bs. This specific moment where Joe mentions where the dev team freaking out figuring out that oh shit that's the game also hits the feels. I've had a product manager tell the entire company offhand that by the way this is what we're giving the customer supposedly the next day and did not tell the development or test team.
unrelated note; please AJ crew edit the volume levels or do not use headset for Joe, like, seriously, the whole thing is low, you turn the volume up then Joe decides to raise your voice now whole neighborhood's up
I honestly doubt, that many. Do you think Bio ware, and EA would risk millions on a bunch of college graduates, just walking into the industry for the first time? It would make no sense. In order for you to get into the industry you have to atleast 1-3 years of experience with either another studio, or indie projects (that may or may not have been commercially successful), but it could be a portfolio project on the resume.
@@rehmanarshad1848 you've never worked in industry have you? because I have and let me tell you the work they put on new college grads and new hires, at least in the US, is staggering. You're expected to hit the ground running and do actual work that will end up in the final product even while you're still training and learning all the company-specific tools. edit1: example, oh you're an engineer with 6 years of experience in another company, but you were just hired two weeks ago and it's your first time working in this industry? too bad you're a senior engineer, here's a feature we want to implement, we want it done by the end of the week and validated by the end of month. have fun. edit2: not the senior engineer by the way just a previously new college grad in the same hiring wave as the guy, he was laid off about half a year after starting.
My uncle used to work at BioWare Edmonton and he quit. He said they were the worst company he had ever seen, And I was so confused because this was after mass effect 3’s final dlc and everyone was loving them, but it’s starting to make a lot of sense now..
And the only honest one left is Nintendo, who in example, gave us gamers a heads up that Metroid Prime 4 was starting from scratch, while most gaming companies dont even do that
I'm glad social media gives us so much honest insight into how a game is shaping up and shows us all the passion/care being poured into the game.........😑
The blogpost was fucking pathetic. They didn't even have the courage to sign it with a name instead they signed it with "Bioware". The tiny little respect and hope I had that Bioware would maybe get back in form now that Hudson is back is now finally six feet under. I didn't buy Andromeda or Anthem and thank god I didn't. I would be ashamed to have been giving money to a company that disregard their employees like this. The last game from Bioware was Mass Effect 2 (Maybe also 3 after they fixed it with dlc).
@@MrZiljon I wouldn't put my name on it if I were them, quick way to get fired a black listed. Anonymously throw management and EA as a whole under the bus sure but I'm not sticking my neck out.
MrZiljon the problem with signing it with a name is people get sent death threats from angry “fans” and get sent mail with crush powder aspirin. People are too shitty now days
As bad as this release was, I think No Man's Sky still holds the title of biggest disappointment in gaming history . It isn't unusual to see it compared to the infamous "E.T." game, of which was a contributing factor to the destruction of the video game market. Luckily it was revived.
@@spethmanjones2997 it is now. At release it was about a tenth of what was promised and Sean Murray straight up lied to the entire gaming community on multiple occasions. Watch Joe's No Man's Sky review.
@@daltoncraig9649 nah NMS had nowhere near as much going for it as anthem did. Anthem had massive backing, sacrificed mass effect for it, coming from some of the biggest names in gaming, hyped beyond belief. NMS was a indie game hyped by Sony, being made by like 5 guys.
Nope. They did not make it out of the collector base. I called it back then when EA got Bioware that they were going to mess up a good company. ME3, although a good game is much different than the previous games. Tacked on multiplayer, less dialogue choices, shitty frostbite engine, even less for gameplay, etc. Good games but Bioware were making 9/10s and GOTYs before EA.
I mean for the most part it was Bioware's own fault 7 years and only 12-16 months was actually spent making the game. Sure you could blame the limitations of Frostbite but at the end of the day the mismanagement is the main problem, that again is Bioware's own fault.
That reminds me my last group projects as well, we're like "Dude this is due next week and we promised the teacher it would have these X features." I don't miss pulling all nighters to finish a month work within a couple days.
LOL, I just realized why reading through the original article affected me as deeply as it did. The development of this game really did come together just like every college group project ever.
Pretty sure the youtube AI algorithm only scans the beginning sections of videos for tags to put on the video for advertisers. So bleep out words so the bot gives it an OK for advertisers. Ways around the system.
i cant believe so many idiots bought this game... i tried beta for 2 hours and got sick of loading times and horribly designed levels split into 20 parts. thanks but no thanks
@@biziluxgames8924 I got to the first mini-boss/boss? I don't really know what it was, but the gameplay never felt fun to me and the arena sucked. Destiny is a lot of broken things, but their gameplay and level design, as well as lore, are top notch. I seen all of that quickly with Destiny's beta, even though they screwed us still, and Anthem never even drew me in in the slightest.
So many people ripping Destiny 2 and boasting about Anthem now probably look like idiots. So glad I didn't waste my time with this shit and watch the dumb play and defend it.
Dont get me wrong andromeda was a bad mass effect game and all but I still liked it and I absolutely hate how they completely abandoned it and worked on this dogshit
Andromeda was flaming explosive dog shit.. N its still far better than Anthem. Bioware has no A team. Bioware Edmonton thought they were the shit. Turns out they were just shit.
@@nelsonmuntz8159 What Bioware Edmonton got was a reality check like you said, they thought they where the shit and then got hit with the always very tasty Humble Pie
When an engine requires “hacking around” it or problems you’re having with it have no solutions just “workarounds”, it’s not the right engine for your project
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (which was ultimately rebranded as Final Fantasy XV) had the same problem: the game was envisioned as an open-world game, but Square Enix insisted that the team use Crystal Tools: a terrible, unfinished engine that was only made for linear games. They spent 7 years just making workarounds, and the team was exhausted and fretful. The game was rebranded and moved to the PS4, so Square Enix insisted the game be made using their new in-house engine: Luminous, which was also unfinished, and the problems began all over again (though at least that engine could handle making an open-world game).
@@matthewmuir8884 Thank god they realised it on Kingdom Hearts 3 and started over again on unreal engine a year in dev. At least made an above average game through that. FF 15 sadly didn't get that far.
well, all of you who watched them are the real idiots. because that's how they earn money. I've never heard anyone say that anthem is going to be a game changer. so why are you watching paid content creators?
They gave us 2 months to do a Vietnam war project and I did it in 1 hour the night before. I just printed a few images, did a PowerPoint, pledgerized the heck out of it, and played ‘fortunate son’ in class.. done! Got a cool 70 grade for no effort whatsoever and that was a win in my book back then.
It's sad we can't even really single out bioware for this. Nothing about stress casualties as a concept is unusual in the industry. Most game companies have freaking dedicated rooms for their staff to go break down and cry in.
@Burst Your Bubble mind doing me a favor? Download a program called Pixia. Its a raster graphics editor. Good for pixel art. I would like you to make me sprites for a video game. Characters, enemies, backgrounds, the full works. Your work schedule is 9 AM til... Roughly 9 PM. You can take an hour break at some point in between there whenever you feel like it. Just one. You can have one day off, Saturday or Sunday, your choice. Keep following this schedule for three months. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to seeing your work
@Burst Your Bubble it's not that simple and shows just how ignorant you are. The amount of pressure and work that goes into actually being a dev and making a game is rediculous enough. When everything is working against you, your job is on the line, leadership is jerking themselves on and the thing you poured so much time into is turning out to be terrible due to mismanagement by others of course you're going to be stressed. Dont downplay others struggles.
@Burst Your Bubble Well, they have stress because they work for weeks or months and some dipshit director throws it all away and tells them to start from scratch while the deadline approaches fast.
Same and i only played the demo. Lasted about 30 min if that and was like nope this is bullshit wrapped in bullshit, with a sprinkling of bullshit just to top it off. Extra bullshit on the side for extra bullshitiness. I could just smell it from kilometers away.p
Wow, what a shame. I can't even imagine the company atmosphere, it must have been so toxic and exhausting. No wonder people left and I bet after this game, many more did so they don't have to go through this again.
I've worked in a similar environment a few years ago and it was the worst time of my life. I couldn't sleep, lost weight, was always depressed and stressed, had persistent migraines and muscular pain... So when I was at work I'd half-ass my tasks just to get them done so I could (try to) take a rest because I was feeling like I was gonna drop dead any minute. I guess that's what the "bioware magic" felt like for their employees, if not worse.
@@JohnDarksoul69 first off, holy crap I’m sorry you went through that! I hope where you are at now is better! Yeah this is why treating staff with respect and care should be top priority for any company. Companies are built by the employees that work their butts off and that should be recognized.
Megabuster They probably forgot they existed, then realized as they were sniffing their Microtransaction money “Oh shit, I better check on BioWare.” It’s the equivalent of a mother leaving a baby in the bath alone for a whole week
Duke Nukem sat for way longer. Imagine you are an investor who knows nothing about games paying a company who is famous for making great games. The real heads of the company have left a long time ago and a lot of the talent gets layed off and rehired all the time so all the company has is the name. Every time you ask about your investment they tell you that its coming along quite nicely and it'll be a hit. You know nothing about games, how would you know you're being strung along?
Nah, Star Citizen dev's think Bioware are pussies. Star Citizen will be released in 2350, 10 years after ACTUAL intergalactic starship travel is ended by the invention of the teleporter. It's gonna be a great game though, or so goes the hype. I've pre-ordered it for my great, great, great, great, great........*has a nap*......great, great, great grand kids. XD
lol to be fair Star Citizen is a very ambitious title with a small team that got the majority of thier developing money from thier backers and they know exactly what they are devloping. Anthem was developed by a big team with endless amounts of money since they have EA as thier puplisher and has no clue hat they were doing thinks to the leaders changing thier mind constently!
@@The666Reaver Look at the bright side though, at least they put out a micro-transaction that allows you to have every item and ship within the game! All it costs is $27,000 or so... To those who know nothing about this game, this micro-transaction actually exists. A 27,000 dollar dlc ACTUALLY EXISTS.

sergiomorfo Exactly are they dumb? They do realise that they could make a 10/10 game and it will still have a meme come out of it. God of war is the perfect example with that BOIIIIII Meme.
@@lewisconnor9613 the internet meme'd God of War with "BOI", warframe is basically a videogame meme generator, Overwatch has memes ... EVEN dark souls is a meme factory too (make londor great again btw)

@Caleb Imrie NieR Automata tried to and was an amazing game, same with Cyberpunk 2077 which looks great so far. I guess it depends on talent and the time u have available ^^
I wouldn't say that, trust developers you know are good on their word. How many games at E3 turned out to be true to their word in looks. A few that come to mind.
Thier pretty quiet now. Most EA game changers quit defending the game after the last patch but there's still 2-3 still trying to hold on to their integrity like open world gaming and dadfyue who claim this is the best game ever.
It's because the Angry joe army actually sits through these extended videos in full. The algorithim loves when you have viewers like that. I found my self watching his extended reviews longer than the polished review. Can listen to this man rant (sober) forever.
this game had extremely huge potential. I remember that i heard Anthem was a looter shooter with good graphics and i was instantly hyped but when i was told Bioware was making it i was scared (due to the fact that its under EA) and here i am thanking my mind for not buying this shit game

As for Patrick, he is the one who said that BF5 critics are "uneducated", that said his reaction to the early demo of Anthem and reaction to it after adding flight back shows he wasn't all bad, he surely had a gamer in him somewhere that understands what is fun and what isn't, probably buried deep under layers of CEO clout.

So is this the final straw that breaks the camel's back? Three botched major releases in a row... Battlefront 2, Battlefield 5 and now Anthem. I can't wait to see what they do next.
@Dante Any company large can make an epic cinematic and any large company can make a good demo. Anthem's E3 2017 demo looked great but... The demo was literally the game, what you saw was all that there had been developed. You can't say anything is certain until the full release, not even betas can be 100% trusted, just look at the BF2 beta.
@Dante considering EA (and gamers, but that's for another comment) shat on Respawn through both Titanfall games, it's not hard to see they're gonna squeeze their power with these talented devs to its fullest worth
The OLD GUARD has left and been replaced with young college Ideologues who have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Bioware is gone and people need to seriously start accepting that fact.
@@vlweb3d The game director was 40s you dumb ignorant fuck. If you actually watched the video, you'd see this was incredible because this was made in a little over the year.
I live in Edmonton and attended out little con back in 2017. The only thing everyone was saying was how terrible the BioWare employees looked at the booth. Wonder if this was why.
There is nothing worse than someone being made to feel like shit at their workplace whether by their colleagues, bosses or customers. That's why employees are demoralized and stressed out and depressed. And that's why they act like shit 24/7. Because everyone cracks eventually. No matter how strong they are there comes a point where they just mentally give up.
Man, who would have tought that nearly two years later, Joe would be doing nearly the same conclusions to Cyberpunk 2077. Man, this world is crazy. 😔😔😔
this sweet talk is irrelevant, the high executive hope you would say this, so they can keep their practices without customer's burden... the practice won't change unless you take radical action for radical change, just boycott it.
@@nickochioneantony9288 I wish more people would realize that the short term sacrifice of not playing sub-par games is going to benefit us greatly in the long run
We can go even further. What if this refers to the management that hampered the game's development process all the time because they could not make up their minds and changed the lore all the time. Hence a world left unfinished by shapers = the people behind the story. It's something to think off for sure. I'm not saying any of this has any actual base in reality, but that quote always sounded really weird and a bit dumb to me.
And EA couldn't do that in today's super anti micro crowd....so it was heavily removed late in pre production perhaps. And after all those years of pre production centering around implemented mictros....it left them barely any time to add micro free systems in it's place. I think that's what's missing from Jason's exposure, possibly. The same dude who just recently claimed that the gaming industry is not so bad but, it's toxic gamers that are the problem... But I thank him nonetheless for this, since the raw info he may have unearthed here could be the full, true story and a win for gamers/buyers period.
And here Nintendo scratch the entire release of a game because they think this won’t get a certain standard of quality (Metroid 4), and then there’s anthem
Wow.😲 "Make our game unmemeable..." Then they go on to become the biggest failure in gaming history. The game Anthem, itself, is one giant meme. Mission: FAILED!

Yo what i think is funny is that they still have a ton of Anthem updates and changes to make that are probably undecided as of right now...So even as we speak there's literally STILL BioWare staff sitting there in meetings trying to figure out what the fuck they're doing.
i think he is totaly right with that EA gives out a Order if you want to call it so " Show us Ideas for a game" bioware comes in shows them.....things.... EA tips on one with a finger and says do it so. im totaly ignoring the missleading with Frostbite Devs here btw! and then Bioware makes..........things....for MONTHS..... so i think even EA was shocked times they got to see builds of it but a Company like EA cant say WOAH NOPE trashcan this make it new when they have to suck Shareholder cocks :) because old fat man in the background not even a idea how to start a PC giving EA the money to work :P
Well yes and no, EA is still the ones pushing the higher ups in Bioware, the dude taking over from Casey was just recently inserted into Bioware from EA. The leadership is at fault, and the highest leader was appointed by EA, so they definitely cant be fully removed from blame. But yeah not a 100% EA fiasco.
After rewatching this, the crazier aspect of this video is that after watching this 2 years ago, hundreds of thousands of people thought to themselves "CDPR is going to show up all these fools"
The scariest thing is that in 2023 the bugs have all been fixed and everyone's trying to pretend Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game. It isn't even a good game. It's a walking sim 80% of the time, and the rest is just an archaic shooter that wouldn't have been impressive a decade ago.

That's basically what happened to Guerilla Games and Killzone 2 for that notorious E3 showcase. They knew that wasn't real gameplay and never meant that to go out to public and a Sony marketing guy put it in the reel at the last minute so they were surprised watching it with everyone else.
It's literally false advertising (many people were only interested in Anthem because of that original E3 trailer, I know I was because the flying and movement looked a certain way that they completely removed after) and wish these companies would be held responsible or that the devs would be honest that they weren't going to be able to hit that or that it was just a proof of concept.
People who started on Anthem at 23 years old are now 30, depressed, unemployed and have a failed game to show for it.
Unforgivable really.
Jesus, I didn't even think about it that way. These poor people. Please for the love of fuck, game developers, unionize. And if they try to shut you out, keep trying to unionize. Never stop. Because if it's not clear by now that employers are not going to stop fucking you over, I don't know when it will be.
And the "leaderships" at Bioware are enjoying their corporate compensation packages thoroughly
Wow, that's pretty depressing thinking about it.
@16Notepads I'm glad to hear that.
That said, I'm guessing I know where your hesitation toward unions in general, considering how comprehensive and effective anti-union propaganda has been in the US over decades. As I understand, companies basically represent unions as the worst-case-scenario, focusing only on perceived negatives, spun to make it seem like they are a terrible thing for workers and play on the fact that people like to think they are better than each other (e.g. the whole "unions allow people to be lazy and those lazy people take advantage of the hardworking ones" trope - points like this I'm sure fail to look at more than one example of a union or address any factor other than throwing out the easily swallow-able character judgment of 'lazy' people who are 'freeloaders').

It's kind of amazing it was even remotely playable given they couldn't play-test it properly.
A Time For Wolves Gotta give the Bioware team some credit. What they did in 1 year is make a pretty good skeleton of a game. Like Warframe back in 2013. Go F2P and just add stuff over time and look at over games and work off that. Or use the skeleton as basics for Anthem 2. Watchdogs 2 Titanfall 2, Division 2 and quite a few games this generation first game sucked but the second one was everything the first game was supposed to be.
Pretty spot on lol. And what an amazingly written article... someone / ppl should really make a documentary of it (and the complete and utter decline of BioWare)

This reminds me of my dad. He’d been a chemical engineer in the refining industry for his whole life. He’d risen to be a huge name in the industry. When it came time to retire, his coworkers tried to find his big mistakes and add up how much his mistakes had cost the company... but they couldn’t find anything. He’d been working for 50 years and never had a single mistake. They asked him how he could do that and he responded roughly:
“Oh I made plenty of mistakes. I was just smart enough to trust the people working under me even if they didn’t have a fancy degree and to take their feedback into consideration every time. The reason why I never made a mistake after the fact is that the labourers below me helped catch all my mistakes before it became a problem.”
I’ve always taken that to heart and it sounds like BioWare needs to learn from that.
Buck Main thanks! Always appreciated! He was a far better old man than I could have ever asked for.
He passed away a few years ago but it’s always awesome that he helps me today! I’m glad someone appreciates his wisdom and might benefit from it too!

Bioware: "We finished the loading screen."
EA: "Ok, let's release it!"
Those two idiots deserve each other. A match made in hell.
Made my day
I think Joe made a fair point here though where EA is like "We gave you 7 years to work on this, you had more than enough time" and it makes me kinda worry for future EA games even more cause the next time an EA game is rushed and someone calls them out on it they can so easily go "Well we didn't rush Anthem and look what happened to that game." I feel like Anthem just solidified that EA will never learn it's lesson and every developer they own is doomed.
Bioware was fucking around for 7 years not doing shit for anthem and EA had to push it out. FYI Every game development has a time it needs to be done and finished by released day. So i'm not blaming EA on this one
@@600mikey I somehow agree but at the same time, Andromeda was released in 2017 and we don't know if Bioware had enough resources for Anthem during these 7 years. Maybe it was just a few junior developers who never used Dice Engine before. Maybe if EA had released ONE game instead of Andromeda AND Anthem, we would have at least one good game.

@@ashleydavis5559 I found some of the characters fine and likeable but most were garbage fillers and clearly added as token chars. Felt a weaker version of ME1 which was very bland but with a ton of lore hidden. What killed Andromeda for me, was the giant maps (which have the same style as in inquisition) . But with less uniquedness for secondary and tertiary missions. Bonus objectives and randomly generated missions were an absolutely shitfest specially VOELD. Then in the story.. you find that almost all your actions at first are useless. because you're not really an explorer.. others already discovered the places you are going. There are already other humans everywhere.. the only unique thing was the missions with the robotic thingies whose name I do not remember right now and the first contact on Jaal's homeworld and Aya. all the other worlds? had the taint of humans already making the supposed "you're an explorer" feel like a lie.

This specific moment where Joe mentions where the dev team freaking out figuring out that oh shit that's the game also hits the feels.

I wonder how many people had their dreams crushed by finally entering the gaming industry just to be put on anthem’s team in 2012.
Fuck LMFAO gave it the old college try
I honestly doubt, that many. Do you think Bio ware, and EA would risk millions on a bunch of college graduates, just walking into the industry for the first time? It would make no sense. In order for you to get into the industry you have to atleast 1-3 years of experience with either another studio, or indie projects (that may or may not have been commercially successful), but it could be a portfolio project on the resume.

When an engine requires “hacking around” it or problems you’re having with it have no solutions just “workarounds”, it’s not the right engine for your project
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (which was ultimately rebranded as Final Fantasy XV) had the same problem: the game was envisioned as an open-world game, but Square Enix insisted that the team use Crystal Tools: a terrible, unfinished engine that was only made for linear games. They spent 7 years just making workarounds, and the team was exhausted and fretful.
The game was rebranded and moved to the PS4, so Square Enix insisted the game be made using their new in-house engine: Luminous, which was also unfinished, and the problems began all over again (though at least that engine could handle making an open-world game).

They gave us 2 months to do a Vietnam war project and I did it in 1 hour the night before. I just printed a few images, did a PowerPoint, pledgerized the heck out of it, and played ‘fortunate son’ in class.. done! Got a cool 70 grade for no effort whatsoever and that was a win in my book back then.
when a phrase like "stress casualties" becomes normal in your work environment, something is significantly broken, perhaps irreparably so.
It's sad we can't even really single out bioware for this.
Nothing about stress casualties as a concept is unusual in the industry. Most game companies have freaking dedicated rooms for their staff to go break down and cry in.

@Burst Your Bubble mind doing me a favor?
Download a program called Pixia. Its a raster graphics editor. Good for pixel art.
I would like you to make me sprites for a video game. Characters, enemies, backgrounds, the full works.
Your work schedule is 9 AM til... Roughly 9 PM. You can take an hour break at some point in between there whenever you feel like it. Just one.
You can have one day off, Saturday or Sunday, your choice.
Keep following this schedule for three months.
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to seeing your work
@Burst Your Bubble it's not that simple and shows just how ignorant you are. The amount of pressure and work that goes into actually being a dev and making a game is rediculous enough. When everything is working against you, your job is on the line, leadership is jerking themselves on and the thing you poured so much time into is turning out to be terrible due to mismanagement by others of course you're going to be stressed. Dont downplay others struggles.
@Burst Your Bubble Well, they have stress because they work for weeks or months and some dipshit director throws it all away and tells them to start from scratch while the deadline approaches fast.
I watched this longer than I played the game
Same and i only played the demo. Lasted about 30 min if that and was like nope this is bullshit wrapped in bullshit, with a sprinkling of bullshit just to top it off. Extra bullshit on the side for extra bullshitiness.
I could just smell it from kilometers away.p
It was fun for that demo, i played for maybe 2 hours and for those exact reasons ^ i havent felt a desire to play it since
This video's length is still shorter than Anthem's loading screen.

Wow, what a shame. I can't even imagine the company atmosphere, it must have been so toxic and exhausting. No wonder people left and I bet after this game, many more did so they don't have to go through this again.
I've worked in a similar environment a few years ago and it was the worst time of my life. I couldn't sleep, lost weight, was always depressed and stressed, had persistent migraines and muscular pain... So when I was at work I'd half-ass my tasks just to get them done so I could (try to) take a rest because I was feeling like I was gonna drop dead any minute. I guess that's what the "bioware magic" felt like for their employees, if not worse.
@@JohnDarksoul69 first off, holy crap I’m sorry you went through that! I hope where you are at now is better! Yeah this is why treating staff with respect and care should be top priority for any company. Companies are built by the employees that work their butts off and that should be recognized.
I give EA this,
the fact they let Bioware sit on literally nothing for 5-6 years is quite surprising.
Megabuster They probably forgot they existed, then realized as they were sniffing their Microtransaction money “Oh shit, I better check on BioWare.”
It’s the equivalent of a mother leaving a baby in the bath alone for a whole week
@@SpookyMarine
dark lol
Duke Nukem sat for way longer. Imagine you are an investor who knows nothing about games paying a company who is famous for making great games. The real heads of the company have left a long time ago and a lot of the talent gets layed off and rehired all the time so all the company has is the name. Every time you ask about your investment they tell you that its coming along quite nicely and it'll be a hit. You know nothing about games, how would you know you're being strung along?
Well it's fucking Bioware they thought they let their money into good hands I guess.
John Smith You’re telling us to imagine ourselves as “Investors” and not the actual heads of the company.

lol to be fair Star Citizen is a very ambitious title with a small team that got the majority of thier developing money from thier backers and they know exactly what they are devloping. Anthem was developed by a big team with endless amounts of money since they have EA as thier puplisher and has no clue hat they were doing thinks to the leaders changing thier mind constently!
@@The666Reaver Look at the bright side though, at least they put out a micro-transaction that allows you to have every item and ship within the game! All it costs is $27,000 or so...

It's really ironic one of the best features of Anthem (the flying) is there thanks to Patrick the EA ex-CEO.
@@ishaankalani Not really, I haven't heard the current CEO of EA say or do anything controversial ... yet.
As for Patrick, he is the one who said that BF5 critics are "uneducated", that said his reaction to the early demo of Anthem and reaction to it after adding flight back shows he wasn't all bad, he surely had a gamer in him somewhere that understands what is fun and what isn't, probably buried deep under layers of CEO clout.
Patrick is responsible for all this "live service" crap
@@timtams5283 wouldn't be so sure about that, EA isn't the only company doing this, it has been going on for a while even before the term was officially coined.
Let's be honest, without flight Anthem is nothing unique or special, imo without flight Anthem would be dead already but flying around is just to damn fun.
@@TonioTyme Partially agree, but it's not just the flying, it's the whole traversal package, specially the Ranger and Interceptor, being able to switch between dodging, jumping, hovering and flying all so quickly and smoothly even while fighting and attacking enemies just feels very good.

Adam Francuzik Bioware is the dev. EA is the publisher. They both fucked it up tbh.
So is this the final straw that breaks the camel's back? Three botched major releases in a row... Battlefront 2, Battlefield 5 and now Anthem. I can't wait to see what they do next.
The next botched major release will be Dragon Age 4, RIP Dragon Age ☹
@Dante Any company large can make an epic cinematic and any large company can make a good demo. Anthem's E3 2017 demo looked great but... The demo was literally the game, what you saw was all that there had been developed. You can't say anything is certain until the full release, not even betas can be 100% trusted, just look at the BF2 beta.
@Dante Only time will tell.
whose going to buy it?
@Dante considering EA (and gamers, but that's for another comment) shat on Respawn through both Titanfall games, it's not hard to see they're gonna squeeze their power with these talented devs to its fullest worth

I live in Edmonton and attended out little con back in 2017. The only thing everyone was saying was how terrible the BioWare employees looked at the booth. Wonder if this was why.
Yep. Demoralized.
There is nothing worse than someone being made to feel like shit at their workplace whether by their colleagues, bosses or customers. That's why employees are demoralized and stressed out and depressed. And that's why they act like shit 24/7. Because everyone cracks eventually. No matter how strong they are there comes a point where they just mentally give up.
Imma have to defend anthem here...i'm sure during pre-development of anthem, Bioware was stuck in a infinite loading screen
