'Anthem' Is the Latest Video Game Casualty. What Should End-of-Life Care Look Like for Games?

WIRED

"Anthem was designed to be an online-only title so once the servers go offline, the game will no longer be playable," BioWare wrote in the announcement. On August 15, the game will disappear from EA Play's playlist. Right now, players can't buy in-game currency, but they will be able to spend what they have until servers are offline. Developers at BioWare who have been working on Anthem will not be laid off as a result of the game's end. News of the game's shutdown comes as the industry, already going through an upheaval, faces increased pressure from players to create "end of life" plans for service games.
