They just threw us out the airlock, Son.

Well, well, what we have we here? I leave for a few days and everything goes to hell.

 

Actually, you had to feel this coming. They closed OT, and they've really withdrawn from the forums esp after DAI. The DA team was always much more active and chatty than the ME team, even before ME3 came out. ME devs were never really that involved (except for Jos, ofc). But really it was a big difference between the two.

 

I highly doubt it has anything to do with BSN being too toxic for them. I mean, you guys have seen Twitter, right? BSN is nothing compared to the vitriol thrown around on Twitter. Twitter is a friggin cesspit.  Talk about toxic. Reddit is like the Walmart of forums. Alot of different stuff, but no real character, or soul.  It's all processed.

 

BSN is like that Mom and Pop small business from back in the day. Character. Flavor. Life. Dissent. It may not look like much, but that's where you went to get the best food in town. Apparently, however, BW/EA wants to move to the "suburbs" ?  Nice and quiet. Manicured lawns with a robust Home Owners Association. Comfortably homogeneous. 

 

hmm..

 

I better get over to that other thread.

 

**I must say, this is the first news that has made me genuinely nervous for BW as a company. 

Wonderful analogy. I have found that the best restaurants are the small ones that only serve one to a few dishes they do exceptionally well (bsn). Once you get to places that serve a myriad of things, well the quality starts to suck (twitter).

The BSN may be closed but I hope it gets replaced by the Andromeda forum and their new secret IP.

 

I still believe the Andromeda game will come out. EA announced the delay in their Investors Day conference.

 

Saw an entry by a BSN moderator wishing us luck in that new 3rd party forum....

Were they being facetious? Or genuine?

Most likely genuine, although I have no way of knowing as I'm not the person who saw it.

[The Arbiter]

Wanna know why they are closing down the forums and moving on to social media? To silence critics or negative backlash on their products and focus more on marketing like useless Facebook posts and tweeter posts about what color of underwear they are using

Yep. A decidedly corporate move. They don't want real feedback, they want cheerleaders.

[Lady Sif]

I don't post very often, but I just wanted to say the the Twitter threads are my favorite threads. I discovered bsn after ME3, and have been here ever sense. I was really looking forward to being here when they started releasing more information about MEA, and discussing it with all of you, or at least reading the discussion because I'm pretty shy. Thank you to BioFan, PCThug, and Hrungr for keeping us updated, and for making me feel welcome when I did post! Also thank you Jos for talking to us, and explaining things to us in here. Hopefully they reopen this place again some time. I'm going to miss the bsn and all its craziness!

That's not going to stop criticism. At all. Which makes this even more confusing...

But on other (non-official) sites, you can just block anyone who's critical of you.  Making for a nice personal echo chamber.

Yup.  And that is, of course, a great way to make video games!  Don't find out what needs work, what annoyed fans, what's broken or what ppl would like.  Just get a bunch of thumbs up and believe that it's all good.

Or, on a positive spin, out with the old and in with the new ME:A and secret IP forums

True,

However, criticism here is concentrated. Out "there" it will be scattered.

There are more people on twitter and other social media than on here. I don't think them being scattered really changes anything.

It's rather difficult to make reasonable, effective criticism in 140 characters. While there might be more criticism on twitter and the like, it will be much easier to ignore...

idk, this trailer has a bit of a new feeling/meaning for me now. esp the last bit, "we will say goodbye..."

i hope you're right, Sartoz. that would actually be kind of cool.

[goishen]

Yah, it does.  Look at some of the people here who still can't stand the ending of ME3.  Four years after the game was released.  If I have a problem with something for that long, it's no longer a problem.  It's a grudge, or worse it's become hateful seething.

Without this forum there would've never been an extended cut

It's like BSN is getting ready to board its own personal ark ship, getting ready to be tested and sent out on a great mission. We'll say goodbye, but we'll never forget our roots.

And we will stick together wherever we land, and work together to survive and even thrive as a community. Just like the species in MEA will have to do. Mental preparation for MEA, this is! That's Bioware's secret plan!

That would be one of the most hilarious marketing errors I've seen in my entire life. I envision an intern stumbling into a board meeting high as a kite going "bruuuhhh, I've got this AMAZING idea for the marketing campaign"
