After Mass Effect: Andromeda and Star Wars: Battlefront II, can we write off EA as a company incapable of releasing a quality product? Quality is apparently not part of the company's culture. I don't see why we should expect Anthem to be any less of a disaster than these two games. At least EA still has sports titles.
[spoiler]For reference, here's the sad story of Mass Effect: Andromeda:

And here are the review scores for Star Wars: Battlefront II:

Need for Speed Payback also looks like a crap game, but who hadn't written off that franchise?[/spoiler]

Battlefront 2 is actually a very, very good game. High quality all around. The microtransaction controversy is completely overblown and should not affect a critical examination or review of the game as much as it has been.
