The store was selling Anthem for one cent, just to get rid of the game

Anthem was a major failure for EA and BioWare, the echoes of which still haunt us to this day. For example, to get rid of

from leftovers with physical copies of Anthem, in an American store they sold the game for one cent!

The story is told by user ClockLava on his TikTok. She said the following:

  • ClockLava walked into a GameStop store and saw Anthem with a price of one cent. At first, ClockLava couldn’t even believe her eyes and asked the sellers if this price was real.
  • The copy of the game was used, but no one wanted to buy it so much that there was a whole bunch of prices stuck on the cover - the prices had to be changed often.
  • As the GameStop salesperson explained, usually games that don't sell at all are simply taken off the shelves, but sometimes they drop prices.
  • ClockLava began rummaging in her purse in search of a cent to no avail. As a result, the seller gave the game away for free - he took on this amazing shortage at the box office!

ClockLava dedicated two more to the unfortunate AnthemTikTok, first the user checked whether the game worked at all, and then admitted that she even liked Anthem. ClockLava decided to stream Anthem on her Twitch.

Anthem really turned out sadstory: the game was developed for about seven years, but the result was weak, the production process was painful, and service support quickly stalled. Then they tried to save Anthem with radical changes, but a few months later the restart was canceled - that was it. Unless the servers are still running.
