THE FUSE

Anthem has been officially wiped off the face of the Earth for two days now, and Mark Darrah, an ex-BioWare producer who worked on both the ill-fated looter shooter and the Dragon Age series, has released a nearly four-hour postmortem on the game and how it all went wrong. If you care at all about the RPG developer’s odd live-service detour, it’s a pretty interesting watch, but there’s one thing of note we’re going to focus on: Anthem could have had local servers that would have allowed it to live on even after EA had abandoned it.
