FYI, Bioware folks are reading and responding to posts on the /r/dragonage thread about the shutdown.

https://www.reddit.c...eing_shut_down/

For example, this explanation for why SWTOR gets a pass:

I think I can give you a little insight into that :
SWTOR is a very distinct project from the rest of Bioware, they had separate forums, separate logins, a lot of separation because it was an MMO primarily developed out of our Austin Studio.
Edmonton specifically (I can speak to it because there is where I work) doesn't deal with a lot of SWTOR stuff, but we did manage the BSN, the new forums, and DA Keep. Dragonage/Mass Effect/Bioware websites tended to be grouped together because its our team in Edmonton that was primarily responsible for them, things are different for SWTOR because they had their own team.
I know its not much information, but hopefully it explains a little bit why things are handled differently for SWTOR.

As a sidenote, several redditors in that thread and in others have a pretty negative attitude about BSN folks. The words "toxic" and "crazy" are used pretty consistently. One of the Bioware folks posted this recollection:

I think it's par for almost any release especially if a studio's games have evolved.
I once had someone tell send me a PM that I should have been aborted as a fetus to ensure competent QA worked on DAO, so that was special.... haha.

I'm mean, all this strikes me as ironic, since Reddit subs have a rep for being toxic and crazy. And obviously a lot of the negative BSN rep is ancient history, DAO's release for Maker's sake, but a lot around DA2 and ME3 community outcries also.

I have to say, the /r/dragonage sub is pretty well moderated and the overall tone is pretty positive and constructive, pretty much on a par with at least the DAI forums of today.

It makes me sad that ancient history might prevent these two communities from coming together peacefully.

Honestly?... this is definitely the most toxic place I've seen to discuss Bioware games.

 

I occasionally read the reddit, and topics on other forums, etc, and I don't see half the crazy that I do here.

 

I will say that the DA section is much nicer than the ME section, but there's still a massive lack of moderation here.

Really the most toxic stuff I've seen here is in direct responds to BioWare closing the forums down. Because that act pisses a lot of people off.

 

There will always be arm chair game developers who know better then the game developer or anyone else. But that isn't being toxic it is simply being stubborn that only they can be right.

 Depends how far they take it, but the fact is I see a lot more of it here than I have anywhere else.

I've been here for two years and I must have missed the "toxic age" or else didn't visit the toxic threads. Plus, if people get too mean, I think my eyes glaze over and I just move on to the next post. I've enjoyed all the help I've gotten here...Papa Charlie has been responsible for some of the good things I've learned. I've never visited the ME section so I've only been exposed to all things Dragon Age.

It probably depends what threads you read. There's a lot of completely awesome people and threads here too.

As this thread does not discuss Dragon Age Inquisition it is being closed.
