From Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age: Origins to Mass Effect 2, BioWare helped define a generation of role-playing games. Its closure may not be entirely surprising, but that doesn't make it any less sad.
Yes, and there are pretty old worlds, from the time of MUDs and with similar public.
EDIT: There’s such a Russian fantasy writer as Alexey Pekhov, with worlds kinda based in notable enough plagiarism of Thief games universe, VtM and Sapkowski, but his things are a subject of nostalgy for me ; so - there are still running NWN worlds based on them, and their peak of popularity was like 15 years ago in a completely different world (meaning IRL).
