BW always used to reply to things with denials even if they were true.  I remember one of ME3's DLCs, Omega I think, Priestly actually called it a "baseless rumor" the very morning that it was officially announced.

 

 

And tried to deny the existence of a prothean squad member even though it was mentioned in advertising as part of the game pre-launch.

I'm worried this is being done partly in anticipation of closing the ME3 servers which, without a work around, would render the SP campaign unplayable because of the connection with the multiplayer.

Huh? We haven't needed MP for anything since the EC.

its like this one-

 

 

hey guys we wanna support our great fan community, so we're shutting down the active and centralized fan community, so that we can remain committed to our fan community

Well this explains why they're banning people for nothing.  They're banning them so they can keep posting.

Heh, I remember this one. As a person who is not especially interested in romances, this was my first "Wait, people are THAT concerned about that ?" moment 

 

Then all the character threads got banished to their own forum.

Then the character forum got shut down and we were booted to private groups.

Then the groups got nuked, along with the rest of BSN.

 

But I'm not bitter. Nope.

I still don't understand why they're deleting all the information. It seems senseless to me to erase all the lore and discussions that took place here. I'd somewhat understand y'know if they were having financial issues, but they are claiming it isn't a monetary issue. I'd wager outside of BioWare's own office that the BSN is the largest collection of Mass Effect and Dragon Age lore and information available to BioWare and the players.

The thing that makes me pissed is the fact that some people are happy with it and they want us to go away.

"Our developers are spending most of their time on other networks?".... WHY?!?! That's what a sales rep is for. To answer stupid questions and direct people to the official  BSN forum for an in-depth answer. This was your forum. This is where people were suppose to come to talk to developers and other fans of your work. This was the place to come and talk about DA and ME. You go to tumblr and twitter to talk about Nicki Minaj's butt. Facebook is the place to go to catch up with grandma. For a fan of Bioware's games, this is where you go...What the hell are you doing on Reddit?!?!

 

Just when I was beginning to get over my anger about the ME3 ending.. this... 

[AlanC9]

This closure was a shortsighted decision. What makes Bioware different from Bethesda who have been running their forums for more than a decade uninterrupted?

Well, Bethesda has a business model that's a bit more symbiotic. They depend on their modders to fix their terrible design decisions. (Same thing for Paradox.)

Bio's relationship with the fanbase is more... predatory? Parasitic? ( Figured I might as well add the snark myself.)

[Dai Grepher]

I hope Razorfist does a video on this, or at least works it into one of his videos as an example of gaming companies that inflict misery on those who they should be entertaining.

[Marcin K]

i really try to understand BW reasoning but i truly cannot - shutting off feedback is HARAKIRI 

REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME3 ENDING -DO YOU WANT A REPEAT ?

This is a road to darkness BW

[The Hierophant]

Hey everybody mayby EA would reconsider if we give them all our monies?

[Giubba]

didn't see this coming.

 

I mean if this happened just after DA2/ME3 hysterics it wouldn't even been a news but now at this moment it pretty strange.

 

Well people reap what they saw

[Shechinah]

If these forums were good for one thing, it was letting Bioware know people didn't like ME3's ending. They're still complaining about it.

 

I'll have you know that I'm complaining in the spirit of my late grandfather: He once held a grudge for what might have been thirty years or more.

[LPPrince]

Hey everybody mayby EA would reconsider if we give them all our monies?

 

 

Probably.

[London]

Preemptive damage control for when the next ME game is coming out. Calling it now. They know the game is crap and they want to make sure complaints aren't seen.

If they think people won't complain on social media and gaming review sites / metacritic they have another thing coming. At least here they would have had loyal fans defending them.

It's because those employees are selfish and would rather play on Twitter and Facebook than actually do work by engaging with the core of the fan base.

Well... do these devs really want a ton of angry "toxic" fans migrating to their favorite social outlets?

You can tell that a post is going to be negative within the first 150 characters. That's the same amount allowed by Twitter (I assume). So instead of a few large posts to ignore, the devs will likely have thousands of tiny comments they'll have to "suffer" from and block constantly. Like playing whack-a-mole. I wish them luck. The moles that is.

[Furisco]

The saddest part is that this forum doesn't make 10% of the people who will buy their games. We really are the minority and the person behind this decision don't care about us at all.

[The Hierophant]

Probably.

They won't. Why give money to people who are contemptuous of you.

[SnakeCode]

"The new 'BioWare A Branch Of EA Forums' will be operating on a PTP (pay to post) model"

[Kantr]

They don't even tweet about game development that much anyway.

[Puddi III]

Yeah it's not like EA is Hillary Clinton here.
