EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday January 5, 2010 @11:42PM 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?"

Translation for Americans:
As an aside, yesterday I bought a used copy of FIFA 08 for 2 bucks from a downtown retailer. Not being a particular fan of soccer games, this is about as much as I was willing to pay and no different from spending fifty times that for this year's iteration.
