Xbox Vice President Mike Ybarra took to Twitter today to complain about the way reviewers have criticized Anthem ahead of the game’s full launch on February 22. Anthem has been the subject of many different critiques, and anticipation for the game has dulled some as a result.
The reason Ybarra even has reviews to complain about is because of Anthem’s release schedule, which is needlessly complex. While the game doesn’t fully release until this Friday, it has been available for Origin subscribers since February 15. Origin is the online client and digital distribution service of EA, the company that published Anthem. Because people were going to get their hands on the new game early anyways, EA and developer BioWare distributed review codes early as well, resulting in a large amount of critical backlash over the past five days. After PC Gamer published a piece praising the fact that BioWare was fixing one of the worst elements of Anthem’s main story quests, Ybarra took to Twitter to blast reviewers for being unfair. He stated that he was “amazed at the whining” that he was hearing from people playing the game, and then insinuated that at least one reviewer had critiqued the game without knowing some of its more basic combat mechanics.
