If they'll never again do these things via the forums, well, that will be unfortunate, but I'll probably live. :]
I mean, really, what's the big deal? They use social media for these kinds of things because social media is popular and widely used (and has more potential to grow their user base than a forum which can only be used by current users). I mean, I get that you don't like social media, and I don't really like it much either. But it doesn't hurt you to exclusively use it to participate in these contests, which is exactly what I do. It's pointless to protest because it's essentially ingrained into society at this point.

Think of it this way. When they run a contest on twitter, some people who don't currently play the game may see it, and go "Wow, that game is still running? They're doing contests? Maybe I should check it out again."
