Anthem is having a problem with matchmaking due to a shortage of players
As Anthem is highly dependent on the online, many missions are difficult or impossible. Only the most dedicated players remain, and the novices have no one to play with.
Anthem's poor reception and low content are causing the game to slowly lose players. And it is a problem because it has a high dependence on online components to play ideally and players are suffering from it.
Anthem is difficult to play with how few people there are
According to various comments that have been seen on sites like Reddit, gamers are suffering on various levels due to matchmaking problems derived from having few players. In the endgame section, which is the most advanced part of the game and near the end; it's hard to get a full squad because they can't find people to play with.
And those who haven't made it that far and have to do beginner or mid-level missions are also out of luck. Those who are still playing don't want to bother going for low or medium level rewards. All this translates into a gaming ecosystem that does not benefit any type of player and shows the dangers of games that require cooperating to overcome objectives.
In games like Monster Hunter there is this problem of depending on other players but the community already takes it for granted that it is always good to help those of lower level so that one day they can play at higher levels. This story of the lack of players does not say anything new that we do not already know about the failure of Anthem, but it reminds us how one of the titles that was going to be one of the most important of the year, and key to Bioware's survival, has fallen.
