Anthem Demo Issues

VG247 reports on the issues many players are experiencing trying to access the VIP demo for Anthem, BioWare's upcoming mech action/RPG. EA Help offers this tweet and this one to explain what they're doing about it:
We're adding more server capacity to the #Anthem demo right now. Hang tight while we work to get everyone into the game.

We're looking into the infinite loading issue with the #AnthemGame demo. In the meantime, try relaunching the game and rejoining your mission to see if that helps you.

Actually, for every one of those people, they EACH got 3x giveaway VIP codes to give to friends. And they would have no idea how many of those would get used until the game went live. So a 300% spread on total server capacity, plus the usual headaches of everyone trying to log in at once, when normally it's spread out a bit more through the day.

Fine, so you take all pre-orders and all premiere customers, multiply by 4, and then prepare for that number, then scale down if you don't need it. You know, if you were a company that gave one shit about your customers or their first-impression experience. It is way easier to scale down than it is to scale up while shit is running.

This, however, is EA, who gives absolutely no fucks and whose suits literally whimper at every VM that needs to get spun up, so you get this bullshit.
