EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely 341
Spacezilla writes "EA is dropping the bomb on a number of their video game servers, shutting down the online fun for many of their Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 games. Not only is the inclusion of PS3 and Xbox 360 titles odd, the date the games were released is even more surprising. Yes, Madden 07 and 08 are included in the shutdown... but Madden 09 on all consoles as well?"

Also, what kind of traffic are these titles currently generating on EA's servers?

I'm not games, so I presume that I don't have to follow the following format? Good thing too, because I can't make sense from that directive.

Because starting in February, if you want to play "football" with your friends, you must pay licensing fees to NFL. And anyone watching your game must pay royalties to NBC.

Maybe this is EAs plan to stop their endless sports cycle and get back to great games. Madden 10 will be the last Madden till it is deemed necessary for an update?
Heres hoping?

We're talking farmers, not tailors, folks.
Sow: plant seeds.
Reap: harvest crops.
Sew: stitching cloth together.
Reap: Huh?
Good grief, kids these days. GET OFF MY VOCABULARY!

Strange game. The only way to win seems to be not to play.
