EA Shutting Down 14 Game Servers This Week

EA has routinely cut off game servers for their titles once they see that it’s not worth the money to keep them up, considering the amount people play. The odd thing about this piece of news is that these games aren’t that old, some of them are fairly new including a few iOS games and EA Sports MMA. It’s apparent that some of the newer titles just never got an online community that was worth the server maintenance. Whatever the reasons are, it’s still a shame and I wish that would never happen, but the bills got to get paid I guess.
