EA shutting down more game servers
“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. We hope you have gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the games and we appreciate your ongoing patronage.”
Such a move is obviously done in attempt to cut costs and make EA more profitable, but one has to wonder where this leaves many of today's games in 2-3 years. The current trend in gaming is A: a multiplayer focus, and B: annual sequels, so it is a hard pill to swallow knowing that your 60$ game could have online functionality cut out in a few short years because "99% of customers" want to play the next generic shooter "Call of Honor: Modern Battlefield 7."
Such a trend makes me happy to know that games like Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, and Fallout are very much single player focused.

Waltee I hate them for doing this. I'll never be able to fully complete all the achievements for Skate. now as they shut off the servers for that quite a while back.
It sucks. If you're going to put online achievements in a game, don't stop people from being able to go online!
You made such a GREAT point here! I love unlocking achievements so I would be pissed off too :(
