Anthem is 50% off in the Origin Infinite Gaming Sale

EA is hosting another Infinite Gaming Sale, shaving up to 60 percent off a big pile of games, including Battlefield 5 and Anthem. The former's been discounted by 60 percent, while Anthem's 50 percent off.
Those are some pretty big discounts for what are still fairly new, big budget games. Neither matched the—admittedly high—expectations EA had for them, though by the standards of most games a lot of people picked them up. I've seen physical copies of Anthem going for less, but I've not seen it cheaper for this on Origin.

On the Humble Store there's a Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege free weekend, with a 50% discount on the basic game and up to 60% off on the higher editions: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/rainbow-six-siege-free-weekend/

• The Star Deal is GRIP: Combat Racing, 40% off for the next 48 hours: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/grip
• Road to Guangdong - Story-Based Indie Road Trip Driving Game (公路旅行驾驶游戏) is 20% off for the next 6 days: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/road-to-guangdong-story-based-indie-road-trip-driving-game
