Unfortunately as time goes on and interests shift to newer titles, publishers are left with no opportunity but to discontinue online support for their older games. Electronic Arts have announced through their official company blog that with GameSpy ending hosted services for games, that several of their games will be taken offline at the end of June 2014.
The company have been working towards and evaluating the possibility of some services to be kept running, however claim “due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time”. Expect to hear more in the coming weeks, given some big titles such as Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942 and Command & Conquer among others stand to be indefinitely taken down.
