Anthem – BioWare Will Not Use the Recently-Patented EA Matchmaking Algorithm

Last week it came to light that EA had filed a patent for a matchmaking algorithm to “dramatically increase the odds for players to purchase microtransaction items”. Fans of BioWare’s upcoming Anthem expressed concern that this algorithm would be included when the game is released, supposedly later in 2018. However, Technical Design Director Brenon Holmes took to Reddit in a brief post to disabuse fans of that notion.
