Totally understand. And I am certainly not trying to hand wave away your concerns.

There are a lot of things that we can say, but there are also some folks that just won't believe us. Anthem is new. We want people to try out the demo next weekend and decide for themselves. If you like it, great; if not, no money lost.

And that's awesome. I absolutely massively applaud you guys for doing a demo. I don't know whether that was always the plan, or whether it was born out of the, shall we say... somewhat negative opinions floating around about Anthem, but it's a class act to let everyone try it out first. I definitely will do so.

Kudos to you and your team, Derek. Again, I hope the game does well. No, I hope it does great, so you can have a separate team make more content, and get these guys back to making (the REAL) Mass Effect 4.

I hope it doesn't tank, because I don't want Bioware to die without seeing if their one good studio (this one) can recapture the Mass Effect magic.

On the flipside, I'm thoroughly worried that it WILL tank and they WILL die.

I can always count on Creston's unwavering support.

Hey, remember back in the day when you said we would start charging for ME3 multiplayer map packs? Man, those were the days...

I do remember that! I'm glad you didn't, because ME3 mp was awesome. It was really the last time you guys made an awesome game.

And, you know, you're part of EA now, and EA suits make comments like "We spend a lot of time trying to think how we can implement FIFA's MTX into games like Battlefront and Battlefield." So yeah, I wonder why people are worried about shit like that going to infest their once-favorite studio as well? It's truly baffling.

In any case, I hope Anthem does well. I hope it's a lot more fun to play than it is to watch on videos. I hope you guys haven't spent six years betting on this game to the detriment of your two most succesful franchises only to watch it all go down in flames. I really do.

Well if this is Win10 only, I guess I'm not playing it...

Anthem will run on Windows 7 and 8. We just don't officially support it.

You can try the Demo coming out in February to see if Anthem is right for you.

Crushbug, is this some new plan or has EA or others done this? Have a game that will work with Win7-10, but then only list Win10 because of support and not care of the blowback they will get by doing so?

Really glad they fixed the black screen after sleep bug. That was extremely annoying.

BioWare points!

you can bet your nose hair that there will be shitty DLC on day 1, pre-order exlusive DLC, vendor exclusive DLC

There wasn't a season pass for DA:I, was there?

"Halo" Series Is Still "Alive" Says Xbox Chief. I'm making a note here. Huge success. Thanks Ant.

I wanted to vote Only on PC, but I refuse to sign up for the tardery that is Twitter. So Bioware, if any of you still read here, this is one vote for Only On PC.

I think there's like 6 seconds of gameplay here.
