EA’s support site has released a list of games that are about to be ‘retired’ from multiplayer. The site says “The decisions to retire older EA games are never easy. The development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into these games almost as much as the customers playing them and it is hard to see one retired.” but interestingly doesn’t mention the difficulty of making the design decision to have these games dependant on the EA servers for the multiplayer to function at all. I imagine that wasn’t too hard, since businesses want to be spurring consumers on to the newest titles. But maybe I’m being overly cynical, a list of the titles to lose multiplayer on August 11 (possibly August 10 in NZ) is past the break.

Pfft, Tiger 10 already lost its online support and tournaments months ago, sucks because I love those games but they over charge for new courses.

I do love the way you have presented this particular difficulty and it really does provide me some fodder for thought. On the other hand, from everything that I have seen, I basically hope as the actual reviews stack on that men and women continue to be on point and not start upon a soap box of some other news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional piece and though I do not concur with it in totality, I respect the viewpoint.
