Nope. I can't think of much that would stop me from pre-ordering Dragon Age 4 at this point, and being sad that the forums are shutting isn't one of them.
With Andromeda I'll wait and see what the reviews and fan reaction say. Probably the same with the Sekrit New IP, although if I really love the concept I might be persuaded to get invested early.

No I won't boycott BW. I'm strictly speaking an RPGish player if I start boycotting the gaming companies (BW, CDPR and Obsidian) that make products that I find interesting I won't have much to play with.

BioWare games haven't interested me in years, and I actively dislike much of the direction that they're taking their games. So I suppose I could say I'm boycotting them already. Has nothing to do with the BSN though. I'm just a sperg when it comes to RPGs.

I like the games and I like discussing them.
A boycott? No that would be counter-productive.

I'm annoyed that they are shutting down the forums but I'm not about to boycott a company whose games I still enjoy. If they stop making games I like then I'll stop buying them. That doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon.

Not over the closure of BSN. Last chance for them lies with MEA. ME3 was at least well done on the mp side (which was also handled by team Montreal).

I've mentioned this a couple of times, but no.
In practical terms, there's not much difference, though. I've lost confidence in the company, I feel it has been run very badly for years. I believe the QA of their games has been one of the biggest casualties, and closing the forum makes that much, much worse.
So I won't be buying their games new. I just don't believe the quality is likely to be there with their current management shooting QA in the foot.
I'll still buy used copies that have come down in price, if my research indicates that they are worth getting.

The words are all in English, I know that, but they just don't make any sense in that order. (I've been playing Civ games since the original on the Amiga)
I know. I'm weird. Sometimes I just need a break from civ to keep it fresh. It's still a game I keep going back to. edit: Ive also been playing since the original. Good old days: I never played the original but I started with Civilization II. I have the impression that Civ 1 is better than Civ2. Although 'Civilization II - Call To Power' was nice. Civ3 was a great advancement comparing to Civ 2, but Civ 4 wasn't. It even with 2 expansions simply was the graphic upgrade of 'Civ 3: Conquests' with religion and upgrades included. Civ 5 was different, but not good at first. The first Expansions made it awesome, expansion 2 made it great. And I'll possibly create a Large map and put only 4 civilizations on it to make it interesting without choking each other. Just like my current map. It'll be my last but its start time will be unknown. I desire to play other games: Torchlight II, NWN 2, Borderland 2, ME2 (for nostalgia and greatness) and and ME3 (to play those DLCs I never played), Paradox games ad some action games.

I'm already resolved to not give them a discontinued penny more for the ME3 debacle, and Mac Walters still being employed in any creative capacity and in charge of ME:A no less has achieved negative progress in convincing me otherwise (translation: confirmed/made it worse).
So no this forum closure does nothing for me. Well, almost nothing. I smell more bullshit on the horizon and this could be EAware's pre-emptive strike to avoid another organized revolt to their shenanigans. My hope is that communities like this will be a direct fuck you to that move and if they do fuck up again, they get slammed for it, hard.

Well, not purposefully, but the forums closing didn't do much for my hype. Quite the opposite. It got lost and I haven't found the bloody thing yet. That there is worth a keg of Ryncol. Have fun setting off radiological alarms! I'm annoyed that they are shutting down the forums but I'm not about to boycott a company whose games I still enjoy. If they stop making games I like then I'll stop buying them. That doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon. Glad you made it. This place wouldn't be the same without a little Sera on the side, right... Yep. Fuck them. Pre-order for ME:A = cancelled. They will be lucky if I decide to buy it 5 years from now if it is in a bargain bin for $5. That there is a little bit overkill.

I will not pre-order any of their games or buy on day 1. But that's just my policy for all games.
First I read and watch professional and gamer reviews, before trying myself. Too many games look amazing at E3 and conferences like that and end up being downgraded to absolute shit and not only graphically (which I don't care about all that much) They often have insane performance problems too, even on rigs that crush the recommended specifications

As long as I enjoy the games, I'll keep buying them.
As I've noted in other threads, I'm all about if the game itself is actually any good or not. The forum closure is more of a concern that they've just shut off a good avenue of customer feedback that can be offered in a way simply not possible on social media or fansites.
No pre-orders though. I don't pre-order games.

I love video games too much to boycut any company based on a forum closing etc. That would only mean I'd miss out on some great games while OTHERS got to enjoy them!!!! No way Jose, not gonna happen, I'll preorder like always and be first in line. No ones gonna take my games away from me, NO ONE!!!
