EA Announce More Server Shutdowns
EA has stuck another two fingered salute up to anyone who enjoys their previous games, by announcing it is to “retire” online services for around a dozen oldish games between now and October 1st 2011.
Titles impacted by the move include Need for Speed Most Wanted for PC and Xbox 360, Skate for PS3 and 360, Madden NFL 10 for PS3 and 360, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for PS3, 360, Wii and PSP. The full list can be found below.
“The decisions to retire older EA games are never easy,” EA said in a statement. “But as games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles below a point – fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles – where it’s feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these games up and running.
“We would rather our hard-working engineering and IT staff focus on keeping a positive experience for the other 99% of customers playing our more popular games.”
