A scathing Kotaku report on the disastrous development of Anthem has elicited a very quick and dismissive response from BioWare, which said that it stands "wholeheartedly" behind every current and former member of the development team, including studio leadership. The developer chose not to take part in the story because it "felt there was an unfair focus on specific team members and leaders," it said, and it "didn’t want to be part of something that was attempting to bring them down as individuals." 

"As a studio and a team, we accept all criticisms that will come our way for the games we make, especially from our players. The creative process is often difficult. The struggles and challenges of making video games are very real. But the reward of putting something we created into the hands of our players is amazing," BioWare wrote in the uncredited reply.
