EA today announced they will be switching off online services for a whole bunch of not so popular games, and have released a complete list of titles that will soon be affected.
Every year EA switches off online services for many of their older game titles, due to the lack of online players and technical support they require to stay online; This year is no different.
As games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles below a point where it's feasible to continue keeping online services running.
In other words, if you want to finish your online achievements or check out a demo for any of the following games, please do so asap.
Here is the complete list of games which will soon have online services shutdown.
