Annual list of server shutdowns will impact roughly 1% of EA's peak online players.
It's that time of year again. New Year's resolutions are already being broken and Electronic Arts is shutting down servers. If you're still playing FIFA 07, 08, or 09 online, your virtual pitch will go dark on February 8.
While a number of titles are getting the online ax, mainly older versions of EA's various sports titles, EA said the shutdown will only impact roughly 1% of all peak online players across EA titles.
While a number of titles are getting the online ax, mainly older versions of EA's various sports titles, EA said the shutdown will only impact roughly 1% of all peak online players across EA titles.
"Despite some people's perception, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these older games up and running," EA said in a post on its web site. "We would rather our hard-working engineering and IT staff focus on keeping a positive experience for the other 99% of customers playing our more popular games."
