BioWare Will Be Shutting Down Their Forums

Forums are a great way for gamers to form a community and discuss all aspects of the game. It also provides developers with a way to keep in touch with their players to notify them of any updates, or comment on certain things about the game, such as what Blizzard has been doing with their forums.

However it seems that if you do play any of BioWare’s games, you might be a bit disappointed to learn that the company has announced that they will be shutting down their forums. According to BioWare, this is because there are so many avenues in which they can connect with their fans, such as social media, which is why they think the forums are no longer necessary.

“In the past, our forums were the only way we could speak to you directly. They allowed our developers to talk with fans, and gave our players the opportunity to talk with each other about our games. But with the rise of social media and geek culture, there have never been more ways for us to connect. Now we can travel around the world, meeting with you face-to-face at events like PAX, SDCC, and even shows in our own backyard. We can share stories with you on the go, giving you a look behind the scenes on sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.”

That being said, it won’t all be gone. The Star Wars: The Old Republic forums will continue to operate, but gamers for Dragon Age and Mass Effect and other older BioWare titles will no longer be able to access the forums come 26th August, 2016.
