That's what the historical forum effectively was for many years, and it did perfectly fine. I'm not sure why this seems like a doomsday scenario for you, but if this change is implemented, we will all see how it goes.
As it is, online forums have been effectively dead for years, and they have rapidly aged out as a way to discuss games and products. Everything has long since moved on to other platforms, apps and social media channels, for better or for worse. Inevitably, this means forums are going to decline in activity and popularity, no matter what you do. It's largely only the long-term veteran user base that continues to use them heavily.
