Do gaming companies still utilize a forum or do they simply leave players to engage on third party platforms?
When I read "Some big gaming companies no longer use forums at all, and simply leave players to engage on third party platforms" I wondered about that. Surely big gaming companies are not leaving their customers to engage solely on third party platforms about the companies products are they? What about companies that offer a similar product like Jagexs? Have those companies abandoned their forums & left their customers to engage only on third party platforms about their products too?
I decided to check out if the companies that offered a similar product like what Jagex offers maintained a forum. PCGamer had an article that lists the best MMOs so I used that article to guide me to those companies that offer an MMO product similar to what Jagex offers.
What I found out was that all of the companies listed in this article maintain a forum & do not simply leave players to engage on third party platforms about their products.
Tbh, I am not sure why this sentence was even offered up as a bit of supporting commentary for the faulty comparison of the RSOF active user matrix that doesn't work to the Reddit active user matrix either.
On the off chance that some big gaming companies had abandoned their forums, I looked at some of those 'big gaming companies' too. I wasn't a bit surprised to see that all of the big gaming companies I checked out also maintained a forum too.
Idk, maybe there are some 'big gaming companies' that no longer use forums at all & simply leave players to engage on third party platforms as that sentence suggests. From what I could tell those companies must be far & few between because I didn't find any 'big gaming companies' that simply leave players to engage on third party platforms in lieu of maintaining a forum.

Character Artist, Bernardo Cristovao, and Concept Artist, Thomas Karlsson, talk to us about the creation of "Solak” and "Merethiel” from the latest update to Jagex's eternal classic, "RuneScape”…
It is worthwhile to read the following articles on the launch of Jagexs new publishing division. As you will note within the article Jagex has assembled quite the team for this new endeavor.
In addition Jagexs unique selling point is that as a publisher they will offer their clients marketing, PR & sales support. Jagex will also offer operational services such as monetisation design, billing systems, 24/7 customer support, data science & security. The article also mentions that Jagex may be offering development and financial services in the future too.
