fans, take notice: Electronic Arts just announced they’re rolling out a new revenue model for the game that involves deleting everyone’s characters unless they send the company $300 in the next hour.
Yikes! If you’re attached to your Ranger, Colossus, Interceptor, or Storm, looks like now might be a good time to pony up.“Look, the idea here is simple: You send us 300 bucks in the next 60 minutes or else we’ll permanently delete your Javelin,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson in a statement sent out to all of the game’s users. “Think about that. All your gear, gone. The time you’ve clocked into leveling up your Freelancer in Heart Of Rage, gone. Your weapon stash, gone. Forever.
mrfeelswildride i mean, it's fine if they make this real, the starter gun is literally the best in the game anyway
implying anyone still plays anthem
OtherJoe_AJS I honestly dont see this as a joke. I think this could actually happen.
mrfeelswildride What can they do with $900 exactly?
mrfeelswildride I think they would have more luck spamming people with warnings that Blizzard will create Anthem accounts for them unless they pay $10
OtherJoe_AJS EA is trash and should be forgotten.
Bloomberg support tweets aren't even that expensive
OtherJoe_AJS (If this is true) The only thing Greedy Arts needs to be completely shutdown and the CEO taken out back and beaten with metal pipes until every bone in his body is broken But I dont think its true
Stop giving them ideas, they might actually do it.

Seems legit 😂

Lol, even onion is taking a jab at Anthem...
Ma! The credit card!
Joke's on them..most of us don't even have characters.
OtherJoe_AJS I got the game for this much cause my kid wanted it. My first question was 'are you sure'
Better let the one guy still playing know about this.
OtherJoe_AJS I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did
F*ck EA for forcing Bioware to churn out this bland crap instead of making KOTOR3, which everyone wanted and would have been happy to throw money and praise at and then acting like it's Bioware's fault and gutting the company.
OtherJoe_AJS EA is one big scam!
They can delete teh fukken save then
OtherJoe_AJS LaymenGaming SkillUpYT
They make a whopping $300, with a net loss of -$3,000
Wouldn't surprise me at this point.
They're only doing that now? Chumps, Fallout 76 did that years ago!
🤦♀️
wait people were able to actually make characters
lol
Whoa, esoteric gamer gags. Keep up the good work.
Everyone send EA money right now, or the next Star Wars game will be a masters of teras kasi remake
EA bad. Gib internet points
eh, i preferred you guys when everything wasn't so believeable
Really rude of them to collect another $900 out of Anthem like that
heelvsbabyface Good do it i dont care
LibertyPrimeUSA that would be at least good closure
Now that sounds almost too real 😂
Youd make more money offering to delete them for 300
AngryJoeShow Is this actually real?
Jokes on them, I play Warframe instead.
Question: Are we sure this is a joke article?
So that's 300x4 (for the 4 javelins) so that's 1200 1200x4 (for the total of 4 players) so that's 4800 that they would make if this was true
CastleWillKill Ok, now that’s funny lol 😂
One of many reasons I don't have one single EA game.
🤣
It’s funny ‘cos it’s true.
heelvsbabyface lol I wouldn't put it past EA to pull this type of BS, but it's an article from The Onion, so I'm not worried XD
heelvsbabyface at first i thought this was real... shows how bad EA is
heelvsbabyface I know this is a joke but if EA thought they could get away with it, they would.
and nothing of value was lost
This is something that EA definitely would try to do
ha ha ha ha... wait ...it's not a joke?
Lmao, go ahead EA no one gives a shit about anthemgame. Let the studios build good games again not micro-transaction loot crate garbage. 🤮
NICE TRY EA. Too bad no one would care if their Anthem 'character' was deleted.
They'd get exactly 0 dollars
anthem's facebook page is just neckbeards sharing screenshots of their paintjobs
Gamers have been united in their respons, saying “I still have an Anthem character?”
That’s going to suck for all 12 people playing Anthem.
OnionGamers
nickmon1112 OnionGamers Pay to retain? Sounds like: Pay to port your character from Anthem 1 to Anthem 2 using an intermediate paid DLC.
OnionGamers Lol - amazing MrGehab
OnionGamers AnthemInsider 🤔🤔🤔
OnionGamers There's nothing remotely intelligent or even clever about this article, no kind of witty satire whatsoever. It's nothing but pandering to people who want to feel good about being complete and utter psychopaths over a video game. Good on you for wanting that audience.
OnionGamers
OnionGamers I hope they use the 300$ well
Takahata101 OnionGamers So nothing worth $300, got it.
Takahata101 OnionGamers This highlights a huge problem with going pure digital. Payed a 60 dollar game played for more then 2 hours which made me illegible for refund and now I have a game in my library that's pure garbage. At least with physical I could trade it. Or shoot it with a shotgun.
TaylorTheDoe OnionGamers Actually, that is probably something EA would do.
OnionGamers Backfires when everyone just lets them.
OnionGamers Everyone: “Yeah, that’s fine.”
OnionGamers I had an e-mail from a Bastion prince, asking me to hide him from EA executives. All he wanted, was my Playstation ID and the three digit code and expiry date from my bank card, so he could deposit his 300,000 Coin savings in my account, with the promise of epic loot to follow.
OnionGamers It's in the GAMEEEEEE!
OnionGamers What about this
OnionGamers OGN lmao
Doctor_Cupcakes OnionGamers haha I hate you
OnionGamers Hmm can I pay in embers?
OnionGamers Real shame FSorrentino12
OnionGamers claw1288
OnionGamers seems fair tbh
OnionGamers Ever hear of Rococo’s Basilisk? Some things just shouldn’t be talked about. Wait... damn.
OnionGamers More stories like this please.
OnionGamers Please say sike
Doctor_Cupcakes OnionGamers Everyone will be pissed off if they do this
OnionGamers No money made then.
OnionGamers This is not too much of a stretch tbh
OnionGamers Bye then
OnionGamers What is the down side?
OnionGamers SaeedAkhtar46
OnionGamers But what are those twenty people gonna do when their characters get deleted?
OnionGamers I'd say don't give them any ideas, but deleting Anthem might actually be for the best...
OnionGamers Watch something like this happen
OnionGamers The whole 3 people left playing the game..
OnionGamers Yo don't give them ideas
OnionGamers Seems about right for EA
OnionGamers Yummy money
