I wonder, what happens to the special edition goodies if we get Premier for a month then go down to the standard edition while cancelling Premier? That might be more of an Origin question than an Anthem specific question.

Free market forces aren't scummy and publishers are not my friends. A video game industry peddling loot boxes, micro/macro-transactions, in full priced single player game too now, and all their other schemes isn't really an industry I care about beyond buying the games I do like as cheaply as possible. I care about video game publishers like I care about the manufacturer of my car, my shoes, my clothes etc. etc. Practically all of these buy cheaply in one country and sell to me with a massive margin of profit.
Cdkeys is a 100% legit place. It's grey market but they don't do anything illegal like G2A does. PC gamers use cdkeys all of the time.
I heard the port wasn't that great at launch but if you have a modern higher end PC it's probably fine. The game is cheap because it's pretty old and didn't sell well so SE doesn't really care about lowering the price. You can get it for around $10 or less when it goes on sale on consoles and steam.
edit: For example it's $4.50 on the steam winter sale now. Around $8 for the game + season pass.
Cause its era and its a multiplayer online only shooter published by EA developed by a previous almost single player only developer, it's like era kryptonite
Anthem is whatever, it's the $40 DMCV preorder that's making me conflicted.
Like... I love Dragon's Dogma, and the combat in DMC is very similar, but I just don't like anything else about the game (linear missions, no stats or level progression, skill-and-score based gameplay...).

Just keep in mind that capcom keys usually end up being europe only on grey markets. I know it says worldwide now but they don't have the keys yet so they're only guessing. Of course if you're in europe then disregard this and buy it if you want.
enjoyed my time in the alpha but yeah, I'd wait until after the demo next month before preordering
My plan is still to sub for a month to the EA online plan for $15. Play the best edition of Anthem, and then decide after that to buy or not. Hell after a month it will probably be $45 or less anyway.
Actually, the developers get paid regardless. It's the publishers who lose (thought everyone hates EA?), even though they will make it all back and much more through micro-transactions. Can't believe people let a crappy site like reddit dictate what they do.
Edit: Message came out weird.
Edit 2: Also, I'm not suggesting to preorder this game (for obvious reasons). I was just commenting against the usual anti grey market cliches.

I pre-ordered it from them too (RE2). First time using CD Keys, responses about the site are very mixed. Hoping there's no issue with redeeming the key.
If you're in the US I'd refund. They'll most likely get EU keys only.
That said the site is great except for never labeling Capcom keys right.
Their RE2 store page lists it as a World Wide key. I guess I'm taking a gamble here. I can always get it refunded if the key doesn't work.
edit: their FAQ is also pretty confident:
No, the demo is gonna be available to everyone. If you pre-order you get earlier access to the demo. At least that's my understanding. I think demo is available for all on Feb. 1.
Will we get the pre-order bonuses and access to the early demo? Also, is it the regular version or Legion version?
I emailed them about this the other day. They said they checked to make sure and the keys are in fact world wide.
We had wbacon a capcom representative here say to be careful because they shouldn't be. That said they could have just ordered both EU and US boxes and that's why they're saying they're worldwide.
I have been using them for years. You should have no problems.
Smart move boys (or ladies)! See you in Washington!
Yeah "Key not working - wrong region" is one of their refund options, so if it doesn't work, there's always that.
Or pay 15 for a month of origin.
If u like buy it on sale later.
If not enjoy the month of other free games and cancel

FWIW... I say this from streams and totally not an alpha I participated in. It has great flying and exploration, it's the shootbang portion that felt a little limp, and is not helped by very uninspired enemy design.
I also quite enjoyed ME3 and ME:A horde mode as an aside.
I'd rather play The Division 2.
Try deactivating any adblockers or tracking blockers you are using. Had the same problem until I deactivated Privacy Badger and uBlock for cdkeys.
I can only speak to Capcom games but the above is correct - Steam keys enclosed in physical retail package are geo-fenced to prevent gray market resale. For example, a key stripped out of a European boxed retail version will not work in the Americas.
To those terrified of resellers, I've bought like dozens of games from cdkeys and have never been burned. They are a legit website.
Having said that I have been burned twice by these multiplayer style Co op titles by pre-ordering destiny 1 and 2. While unfair to anthem, impressions were sufficiently mixed from people i know I am holding off until commentary on amount of content and more in depth impressions. I don't mind paying full price if it means not buying a game I get bored off fairly quickly.
