EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely

Posted by Soulskill on from the sixty-dollar-yearly-fee dept.

Spacezilla writes "EA is dropping the bomb on a number of their video game servers, shutting down the online fun for many of their Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 games. Not only is the inclusion of PS3 and Xbox 360 titles odd, the date the games were released is even more surprising. Yes, Madden 07 and 08 are included in the shutdown... but Madden 09 on all consoles as well?"

    Perhaps they will release the next version as Madden 0x10 so it will be good until 2016?

    I'm not games, so I presume that I don't have to follow the following format? Good thing too, because I can't make sense from that directive.
