I've got a question why is The swtor forms only one not been shut down

 

Sunk cost fallacy and EA are dear buddies.

 

Although I hear SWTOR aged into an enjoyable if niche, semi casual MMO nowdays, but it was mocked as the TORtanic when it launched for a reason.

But isn't it owned by the same company the same developer except in different parts of the world because I thought that if something happens on one part of the company it affects the other but the company like every game they have had like a symbiotic relationship where they all seem to survive three one another you Noname

Can't be just about money I mean what's the cost to run the forum just out of curiosity because I can imagine that would have a set amount of money set aside for particular sections of the company like bioware and EA

EA has many different studios. Bioware is a label. A registered trademark owned by EA. EA can stick that label to any studio.

Since we're on our way out the door, now's the time to get this out: Elhanan's the type of poster who thinks that as long as you don't swear, you can make any passive-aggressive comment/argument and pass it off as a mature. It's a kind of deception that confuses a lack of swearing with intelligence. For a typical example, see most of his insane responses in the Bioware foul language threads. 

I knew there was a reason why he reminded me of my mother.

What do you mean by that? No way will these things be cancelled, or no way someone is gonna address this? (Or both?)

no way someone is going to address it, I'm sorry to be the bringer of bad news :(

Because SWtoR is a subscription game. BioWare doesn't believe closing this forum will effect their profits, because it eliminates some support and QA costs. If they shut the SWtoR forum down, they believe they will lose subscribers. So, basically:

 

$$$

 

^ That.

 

Note: This is what BioWare believes. I believe shutting the forum is part of a pattern of conduct that will ultimately cost BioWare a lot of money in the long run, but they clearly don't agree.

Well...

...this.

 

Remember Warhammer Online? They got thrown in with the BioWare lot, rebranded as BioWare Mythic, they even had their forums merged with the BSN for a while, before they got axed.

 

They had nothing to do with BioWare, only in name only. Studios are just labels to EA.

I'm afraid that's incorrect.

 

Access to SWtoR forum requires a subscription.

 

 

Fair enough, had to reply after sensing a hint of condescension  :ph34r:

 

 

Wow, it was very kind of you to use the phrase "hint of." O.O

Ah, the good old "buying reviews" position ...

Gee, why are you closing the forums again, BioWare?

"Oh noes, people dare say bad things about me , close the forums, close theeeeeem! That'll prove how good I am!"

It's pretty much the forum's final day and even now, even now here at the end of all things you simply cannot resist the urge to get in more passive-aggressive, holier-than-thou digs and put-downs (because let's face it, that's what these messages are, layered with manners and dripping big words as they are) directed at the forum's general population. :huh: You might not intend them this way but this is how they come across. This is coming from someone who spent 95% of their time on this forum "behaving" themselves, leading a fuzzy subcommunity, answering questions, contributing to lore discussions, making friends.

if you can't control yourself then neither can I. I'm just a bad barking dog right?

spank me, Elhanan, you're toxic in your own unique way


If folks choose not to control their tempers, and choose to break the rules they agreed to at registration, then calling them out on their appearance as feral beasts may help serve warning to those on their next forums. Terms of Service mean nothing; their word means nothing.

Registration; too long?

Maybe they don't want people talking in depth about ME:A.

Maybe that doesn't make me hopeful about ME:A.

Well, closing these forums results in at least one good thing: We no longer have to put up with Elhanan, because competent mods would shut his behaviour down hard.

You can try to attach an emotion as temper to reason, but that doesn't make reason temper.

 

Hm. Déjà vu. Someone tried that before. It doesn't work, Elhanan.

 

Also, earlier in this thread I showed you a mirror, that made you realize that you make the same mistake as you accuse others of. Did you already forgot that? This is another example of that.

 

And that is what Solas meant: The fact that your words appear to be polite, doesn't make them so. The term "feral beast" is a fine example of that.

How hard it is to simply not answer him?

 

Works for me. I even managed to dodge Cassandra entirely in the Legend of Korra thread of old. :wizard:

Disney? EA is subservient to Disney as long as they have the Star Wars license. Maybe they didnt want to offend their Disney masters.

Replayed the Brecillian Forest from DAO last evening; Zathrian and the werewolves scenes were still in memory.
