Games that lost almost their entire Twitch base within months

BioWare’s futuristic Anthem struggled from the start. It had a confusing launch, and earned an unfortunate reputation as a Destiny clone despite entering production before Bungie’s own space shooter. 

These fumbles reflected rather harshly in Anthem‘s viewership numbers on Twitch. At first, tens of thousands of gamers flocked to Anthem streams to see what all the hubbub was about. When they discovered a mediocre and bug ridden offering that wasn’t anything like BioWare’s previous work, they bailed. The views ticked down from thousands, to hundreds, to embarrassing double digits. 

There’s good news on the horizon for Anthem, however. BioWare announced that it would like to try again and really make the game something that fans will enjoy. There is a massive overhaul underway that will be much bigger than a mere update or expansion. Whenever Anthem 2.0 launches, it is sure to attract some attention on Twitch. Hopefully those viewers stick around this time.
