I think they don't care about our current position here  ;)


Something about this just feels wrong. I mean, it IS wrong, but also suspicious...

Probably because it was not something they wanted to do.

 

That is my guess at least.

I'm beginning to think that might be some of it. And that doesn't make any of this sit any better than before. :unsure:

Yeah, it's so stupid, to the fact I might go to another game's forum by this point  :D

Not surprising, really. This day has been coming for a long time now.

The problem though is that this is THE place for BioWare games.

I could browse Bethesda, but... Not the same.

It's a little far out to say that about ME:A. I do remember what they did with ME3, but that was what, two days before release?

And they aren't doing random stuff like this to alienate their fan base either

They aren't Mass Effect and Dragon Age, though.

This is a completely suck move, no doubt. I just wonder if it's more EA than BioWare. Or something else. :wacko:

I am rather saddened by this. Where will I get my daily dose of petty arguments, troll threads, ridicioulous romance threads, toxic hostility, whining and thinly veiled racism and homophobia now? Well I guess I could just go read some youtube comments, but it won't be the same.

EA. There is no other doing besides for EA.

'In order to communicate more with fans and engage in discussion, we're closing down our forum that's dedicated to communicating with fans and engaging in discussion.'

 

You know something is off when Starbrat logic gets involved. Not to mention this seems timed to happen just as they start rolling out actual info for ME:A.

 

None of this sits right.

 

This is so true. That statement made no sense at all.

 

The whole move is sending a really bad message and doesn't exactly inspire faith in the new game. Actually the opposite.

My guess: EA will dismantle and mutilate bioware once ME:A and dlc is out by this time in 2017. Nothing says love like a corporate mentality interested only in bottom line. Guess bioware wasn't' fast/good enough.

It does look like it, does it? IF (and it's a big IF for me now) MEA will be released at all, or regardless of that release, we are most likely going to see BW closed with some of the formal team left to support SWTOR for the time being.

A lot of bad news out of Bioware, from people leaving the company and the game and now forums closing down. I expect a lot of negative receptions of the game.

At the EA Shareholder conference they listed Bioware as an asset that will produce Action games, so pretty much this (what Kiera said).

They wouldn't be the first company to do so.  The two big wigs at EA are NOT big on RPGs.  Both seems to be geared towards yearly releases of sports titles and action games.  So what happened to Dead Space 3 and Dragon Age 2, where a change in focus was made and development time was...decapitated, wouldn't shock me, if this were true.  Once Muzyka and Zeschuk retired, it became EA.  And EA kinda earned its rep as one of the more...stellar...companies out there.  

 

I don't know, I'm concerned, but...if MEA is the last major title that is produced, then that is that.  I'd love to see DA4, but...right now I'm starting to have more faith in SEGA and Atari.  Of course, I'm tired, and its been a long week.  Perhaps its that fatigue I mentioned in a another post...maybe I'm just reading into it because I'm tired...but either whats been happening the past year with people leaving, the delays and now the forums is a REALLY interesting coincidence (and it could be), or where there is smoke, there is fire.  And I don't see other companies who are doing well severing their lines of communication prior to information/release.  That'd be like making everyone drop their smartphones for old analog dial up.  

 

Welcome to the future...

 

Say hi...if you CAN...

Well, one inescapable conclusion is that Bioware believes that this "community" will not be of significant benefit to selling product (and I suspect that it is seen more as actively harmful). I'd love to know where they believe the harm lies. I have my own ideas, but I'd be interested to know theirs.

i'll admit, i'm getting nervous about me:a with all the surrounding things going on for bioware, but i'm hoping thinking that the forums being taken down have nothing to do with it. and it's just a coincidence.  :unsure:

You should be nervous about Bio's continued existence.

The game scares me too....

I keep thinking they are going to make Call of Duty in space with no regard to the story.

I was terribly disappointed with DA:I

 

Another point, is why they haven't released PC requirements yet. I heard a terrifying rummer that ME:A is going to requite Windows 10....

 

Either way, I bet it will be terribly optimized like DA:I was, they have a lot to learn from CD Project...
