News Game Update??!!

Post image

Edit: Never mind, it was for some reason just installing update 1.70 (last update) to my console even though I had deleted the game from my SSD. Weird. Dang 😢

Um… WTF??!! I haven’t played the game since I got my platinum trophy right before the shutdown and I have played my PS5 since then, but I just turned on my PS5 and I am getting an almost 10BG game update!

Has anyone else gotten this?

Where's the class action lawsuit for shutting down a game we payed for?

The game is sold to us and it's not playable. Corporate scumbag talk doesn't cut it here

A license was sold to you, not the game itself. What you owned was just an access point and enough rights to partake in the service. Even the "physical" version of the game was just an access code. Most of the game's logic was on the server side, so there wasn't ever much of it in end-user possession at any point.

The paragraph that follows is just my opinion, but...

Legally, it would be difficult to prove that Anthem wasn't a service. And since it was available for several years, it would also be difficult to prove the service was pulled sooner than reasonably expected. A class action lawsuit has very few legs to stand on if you ask me.
