Note To Old Gamers
« on: August 08, 2006, 10:51:55 am »
The end has come for many online games it seems.

Games giant EA has begun a rolling closure of many online servers supporting copies of old games.
The first series of EA Nation shutdowns, which hit servers for top titles such as Fifa 2005, took place on 1 August.

The second round of closures, for titles such as Madden NFL 2005, takes place on 1 October.
Many of EA's games can be played online with players going head-to-head in sports games and racing games.

By the time the closures programme is complete, 34 servers supporting online players of 14 games will have gone.
The shutdown by Electronics Arts falls most heavily on sports games.

I hope that helps anyone who buys old games made by EA, local play?   fine,  online ?  forget it.

but they've already bought it, so now they can throw them off and force them to buy another game if they want to play online

You know, it seems like as if it is a rat race to see who is the most hated company. EA, AOL, Itunes.... ;)
