As Anthem faces shutdown amid Stop Killing Games movement, producer says maybe we want to "sacrifice some things in order to get it so that games don't just vanish one day"

Anthem.

BioWare shooter Anthem is heading towards its permanent shutdown on January 12, 2026, and while its former executive producer is "surprised it made it this long," he acknowledges that perhaps we want to "sacrifice some things in order to get it so that games don't just vanish one day" for the sake of game preservation.

"I mean, I knew it was going to happen eventually," he begins. "To be frank, I'm surprised it made it this long."
