Like I understand saying they're not the exact same game, but all high profile shooting games are going to have a lot of overlap.
Not really. One is PVP and the other is PVE. People can easily play both.
It was also a game that offered pvp and pve, and required a great deal of time and effort in both aspects to remain competitive. I don't really see any reason why someone with say, 10 hours of gaming time a week wouldn't be able to play both these games without much worry of falling behind.There's only so many hours people have devoted to gaming. Saying they technically can play both means nothing if they're going to use all their free time on one. World of Warcraft is an MMO, but I garuantee you it zapped a lot of money from other genres/games that they would have spent on otherwise. These are both high profile mutliplayer shooters, some people don't care about the distinction they just want their shooter fix with the friends.

Have you read any of the comments in this thread? That argument doesn't stand.Apex is a completely different game for a different audience. The Division 2 is the one Anthem needs to watch out for the most; it comes out just three weeks afterwards, and has the advantage of being a sequel to a game whose gameplay/mechanics have been honed considerably over the course of its lifespan.
Anthem isn't going to have anywhere near the content or replayability that something like WoW would have. There's not going to be enough either way to seriously hurt anthem. Anthem is being hurt by a laundry list of other reasons.There's only so many hours people have devoted to gaming.

God even reading these joke posts infuriate me haha. I hate that channel so much.
Vids like that cautioned me to clicking any video will-nilly just because it will flood your recommendation with shit.God even reading these joke posts infuriate me haha. I hate that channel so much.
Sure? Why not? The only thing preventing you from doing so is personal choice. Right now I'm playing through the KH series, splatoon 2 mp, and have been messing around in a little bit of division 1 with a couple friends.
This is what gets me, why aren't there threads asking if apex cut KH3s sales short? Or if it killed Red Dead Onlines community? Hell, wouldn't Apex be just as damaging to destiny and the division 2 as it is to anthem?What does one have to do with the other?
A third person PVE only mech loot grind game vs. an FPS pvp BR game..? what?
Can we ask if Apex is affecting peoples' Sekiro hype while we're at it?
The marketing push should definitely help. Though the first few times I heard that commerical I had to do a double take in my head that they weren't talking about Apex.Curious. Are there Apex commercials blazing right now? I've seen a ton of Anthem commercials lately. Maybe marketing will keep Anthem afloat or with early access coming up, if it comes out the gates looking good, it could change people's mind about the state of the game. BioWare seems to be aggressive with post launch content.
I play several games at once. Right now in the past 2 weeks I'm doing Metro Last Light, Dragon Quest XI, Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online, The Division's Underground DLC, and Skyrim some more. If I had to play one game all the time I'd hate gaming.
