Not every game company can afford to keep their online services running indefinitely and Electronic Arts is no exception. As part of an ongoing rollout of server migration from Gamespy services over the past year. EA has been slimming down their servers and shutting off online connectivity to titles such as Fight Night Round 3, FIFA Soccer prior to year 2010, and other yearly franchises.
Up next on the chopping block are a large series of titles affected by the shutdown of Gamespy servers, scheduled for later this month. EA will be keeping many servers online for another month before shutting them down on June 30th, 2014. Among the affected are Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Command and Conquer: Generals, and Crysis. You can check the full selection of affected titles below.
EA’s official statement on the Gamespy server migration is as follows:
“Since GameSpy’s announcement, our teams have been working to evaluate options to keep services up and running. Unfortunately, due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time. Online services for EA games on the GameSpy platform will be closed down at the end of June.”
