A partir de amanhã, a Electronic Arts irá desligar os serviços online (leia-se multiplayer online) de 12 jogos, incluindo FIFA 11 e NBA Jam. Em uma declaração na página da empresa, a Electronic Arts explicou que a decisão de aposentar jogos "envelhecidos" nunca é fácil. Disse ainda que isso permite que a equipe de TI se concentre em manter experiências on-line em jogos mais recentes, em um nível que os jogadores esperam.

Confira as datas e a lista de jogos que terão toda a parte online encerrada:

Os destaques, negativos claro, são para a série FIFA, que mesmo sendo a 11, ainda faz sucesso. Outro destaque é o NBA Jam para PS3, que a Sony disponibilizou gratuitamente esta semana para quem assina o serviço PLUS da PSN Americana.
O jogo The Sims 2 é um caso à parte: além de ter os serviços online encerrados, também terá o seu site oficial fechado, o que inclui acesso à uma comunidade gigantesca, milhares de MOD's, itens de outros usuários e extras para o jogo.



Nos últimos 3 anos a Electronic Arts já encerrou a parte online de quase 200 jogos de todas as plataformas. Isso inclui jogos nem tão antigos, com defasagem de pouco mais de 1 ano para a data de encerramento. Confira a lista completa, sendo que os 7 primeiros da lista foram encerrados há menos de 1 mês:
