That is actually an absolutely great and also horrifying comparison that you bring up there @Daeyon-be ! 👍
Just brought up one of the many good 'post mortem' articles written about what was Anthem.
And the many similarities to BF2042 situation are appalling:

"Anthem‘s demise comes not from one fatal blow as much as it bled to death from a thousand small, inconsequential cuts. It failed because it took so much from its live-service peers that it neglected to craft an identity all of its own. In its desperation to be all things for all players its become nothing for no-one, failing to stand out in any meaningful way in an already grossly over-saturated market.
Ultimately, though, it was all style and no substance. The striking environments and solid combat just weren’t enough to compensate for its shallow gameplay and lack of mission depth and diversity."

Most of the labeled as "toxic and redundant" player base left the sinking boat. Those who paid 60 bucks or more feel like hostages of their own decision based on marketing material.
Final statement - EA is disappointed.
Who could have predicted "disappointment" at this point?
So we went from "ahead of schedule" > "love letter" > "(lack of) legacy features" > "brutal expectations (in short span of time)"> to EA is dissaponted.
That was fast I admit.
