Wow. Who wrote this Bloomberg article? The English is atrocious. They use "less" in every instance where the correct word is "fewer". This alone really calls into question their journalistic integrity.
It's a bit of a kick in the teeth that Killer 7 was recently remastered for PC, but for some reason has failed to be released on PS4. Easy choices would be Fatal Frame and Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly, but I'd also like to see Haunting Ground and another game I consider to be an under-rated classic: R.A.D. - Robot Alchemic Drive.
"The best thing that it, and most certainly ANTHEM, can do, is work tirelessly to improve themselves and give players a genuine reason to believe that the future is much brighter."
I highly disagree with this statement. There are times when it's just best to walk away. Imagine being part of the skeleton crew trying to fix one of these broken games while the rest of the studio has moved on to other projects. How inspired would you be to come up with interesting new content for a dwindled player base that you know will generate zero new revenue? The "live service" model is fundamentally flawed, at least insofar as these types of games are concerned, and I think for many of them it's just time to admit failure and commit to doing better next time.
The Tomorrow Children... It lasted, what, a year and a half? And we're not talking about a game that has lost some of its functionality here -it's GONE. It was an acquired taste, to be sure, but not to have even the option of checking it out anymore is a great shame. Many, many people miss that game a lot as an art piece, myself included.

There are at least two omissions from this list that I know of: Ashlotte Maedel and Shura (both from Soul Calibur IV).
