Summary
Thursday, March 21 is set to be a particularly sad day for fans ofEA’s games, as seven titles will be shut down that day. In the age of expiring licenses, online multiplayer, and digital downloads, it’s an unfortunate reality that some games are shut down and delisted. This has happened to manyEAgames over the years, and 2024 will see even more titles from the publisher shut down.
2023 saw many high profile EA games shut down, including the multiplayer forDead Space 2,Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and more. While it’s always disappointing when a game is shut down, EA at least gives users plenty of advanced notice. This way, anyone interested in playing the games before they’re axed can do so. One of the biggest EA shut down days of the year is right around the corner, as the online for seven titles will cease functioning on March 21.
