EA axing online support for numerous games

eaEA announced that numerous older EA titles will get their online service cut in the rapidly approaching future. Seems to be like clockwork because EA did this around the same time last year.

These shutdowns pertain to official EA servers for the games and community-related programs and services may be closed prior to the shutdown dates. I guess this is a subliminal way for EA to say, "Buy our latest products!"

The huge list includes many games from the FIFA series, Madden NFL 06, MVP 07, NBA Live 06, NHL 06, Burnout Revenge and Need for Speed Underground 2. Kind of a bummer for the players who still play these games. Still, EA is a business and it costs money to continually provide online services.
