Electronic Arts cuts to the chase: these games say goodbye to online

November 1, 2022 Matt Mills Gaming, News 0

It is a serious problem faced by the current video game scene that, in one way or another, offers functions that require connecting over and over again to the servers of the publishing company that, whether we like it or not, represent a significant expense to As the years go by and the critical mass of players decreases along with the popularity of that title. So Electronic Arts has taken the ax out for a walk to clean up.

Goodbye to the official servers

The fact is that, as we say, it is not new for a company to take inventory from time to time and decide to take measures that are almost always unpopular. And they are because many of the games that are left without those official servers manage to maintain some movement of players who continue to enjoy the releases years later. Even the odd decade.

Be that as it may, Electronic Arts, which is one of the publishers with the most releases in history (it has been with us since the 80s), has published a complete list of games that now have official support to enjoy online together or against others players. And the truth is that there are some flashy names, such as Dragon Age Origins , the third installment of the celebrated franchise developed by Bioware, or some Command & Conquer that were released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 generations almost 13 years ago.

Of course, except in the case of three names that have already seen their online services cut off in the last few hours, the rest still offer some space for us to play the occasional game remembering old times. Although in your case, if you are still a fan of any of them, it is still time to contact the community scene to find out if alternative servers are going to be enabled to maintain activity and, above all, performance.

Electronic Arts games that are already disconnected

Right here below we leave you the calendar of closures of those servers that, as we indicated before, began on October 20 with the complete and definitive plating of three games . From there, the list becomes more and more surprising with the appearance of names like Mirror’s Edge , a 2008 title that is still going strong and, on the other hand, OnRush , an extraordinary speed title that seems to have stayed without an audience just four years after it was put up for sale.

By the way, it is surprising that Electronic Arts gives up so soon some of its bets within Luna +, Amazon’s cloud gaming service that has not yet arrived in our country. Does that mean it’s not working?
