What went wrong with Anthem? This is the story, based on interviews with 19 people who worked on or close to the game, of why BioWare's loot shooter was such a mess. It's also a story about a legendary RPG studio facing a burnout crisis. My latest: kotaku.com/how-biowares-a…
While reporting this story, I learned the names of dozens and dozens of people who have left BioWare over the past two years. Those who talked to me said they believe that something desperately needs to change, and that they hope making it public will help. 
EA and BioWare declined to comment or provide any interviews for this story, but they did just put up this blog post, written before they could read the article. Very interesting, if somewhat dismissive. Hopefully they're serious about better planning: blog.bioware.com/2019/04/02/ant…
