Sony dropping online play for Gran Turismo 5, Resistance trilogy
Also, as of January 28, 2014, the online connectivity of MAG, SOCOM: Special Forces and SOCOM: Confrontation will also cease to be. Since MAG and SOCOM: Confrontation are online only, we hope you enjoy your new coasters.

Aue Personally I don't play GTA, But this is pretty pointless either way
GTA ._. this is referring to Gran Turismo. I guess they wanted to save money on server costs and all.

Neither do I. I think it's pretty pointless of them.

Online only games had to die at some point. What sucks is that GT5 is still big and the PS4 came out only last month. I'm sure people will find ways to emulate system link but actually be playing online. Problem is that many won't try this. Hell, not sure if that's even done on PS3.

CHPfunsnipesKatsumiOasis Not surprised at the other games but GT5?
So you release GT6, realise that it's not selling as well as you hoped, then decide to shut GT5???
Don't they realise that for the people that have never played a Gran Turismo, before buying a new one, most people try the old one first!
Bunch of amateurs.
Well it makes a bit of sense i guess, if players of Gran Turismo 5 want to play online they will now have to buy Gran Turismo 6.
What a stupid move to get people to get GT6, I bet lots of people will be angry at this decision, and I thought EA were bad for shutting down online servers after a few years.
ridiculous? yes but this happens more than is noticed.
I personally don't like the decision very much myself, but it does make a little sense at that. If i was an avid GT5 player i would be very angry at Sony for this one
