Siren_Tiene Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Depends on the game I guess. Create really sucks so it's no surprise it's being shut down so early after it's launch. Why keep it up if no one is going to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3m0nd00d Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 EA is just making this shit up so you will buy their next game. It has nothing to do with dead servers or the cost of upkeep. How can I say this you ask? Proof. Go put in Brutal Legends and jump on the multiplayer. Have it sit there on a saturday, waiting for somebody to join. If you are lucky, you'll get one or two people if you wait 12 hours. Brutal Legends is an EA game. It also has a deader MP than Riddick does. EA is just playing everybody. I will never support EA again. Ever! Not positive, but I'm pretty sure Double Fine hosts the Brutal Legend servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Awesome Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not positive, but I'm pretty sure Double Fine hosts the Brutal Legend servers. Yea, somebody else told me that recently too. I'm sure that's the case. Nonetheless, I'm still never supporting EA again just for that reason. They are con men who don't care about their customers. Business is business but if you don't care about your customers, you won't keep them as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFinchen Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah sucks now on them games you can never get a platium but it you trophy hunt then a trophy is a trophy lol. I got my ea mma trophy the other day and man it took forever. Luckily its got 20X XP until the servers close. It used to take around 6000 fights to get the platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's not closing down on the 13th, but EA is shutting down the servers for Hasbro Family Game Night on the 30th of the month. There's one online trophy for that, so if you still don't have it now's a good chance to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_Lancer Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Took forever, but finally got the EA Sports Active 2.0 only online trophy, for some reason you can no longer host a workout group you must join one, and the only possible ones are the .org groups so good luck to anyone going for the EA Sports Active 2.0 trophy, I thought it would be pretty simple....nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc138 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have a friend that will be really pissed off that EA MMA's servers are being shut down but I'm thankful that I don't play any of those games online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlay_ Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I hope/pray think that the purpose of the online passes are so they can keep the servers running, right? I don't think any developers have taken down paid servers yet That being said, I don't agree with this one bit. Especially for EA Sports MMA, where they haven't even released a sequel yet? Dafuq? The online passes are a part of project 10 dollar. You only have to pay for the pass if you buy the games used. It was designed to increase new game sales since the price of a used game + online pass makes the local retailers more expensive than just buying the New copy. Buying New is the only way EA or the developer see profits from the game. However, the 10 dollar online pass makes sure that they get a cut for used titles too.The also include online trophies to appeal to trophy hunters. A trophy hunter wont buy used unless he plans on buying the pass as well, but a casual gamer with no interest in trophies will still buy the used game, screw the online pass. tl;dr - Online passes were created to diverted used games sales to new game sales; not server upkeep.

Parker Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I can understand them closing down servers for a game that is years and years old, but what they're doing here is ridiculous, in my opinion. It is ridiculous that they shut down servers for a game that had an online pass, as I though the whole point of them was to pay for the servers. I have no problem with Online Passes if that is in fact what they will be used for, paying for the servers, but if I buy an Online Pass and the server was shut down a year later, that would be enough to make me boycott a company, which is something I've never done. EA keeps getting shittier and shittier... Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA keeps getting shittier and shittier... Parker This is exactly the reason I've been pretty much against Passes from the onset - the whole "paying for servers" thing has been nothing but jargon. They don't go to server upkeep - they purely go to give the publishers money on a game they stopped earning money on already. It's no more than an attempt to get you to buy a game new. I can almost guarantee you that online pass games, when they die out community wise, will have their servers shut down just as quickly as these are being done. [Just look at MMA.] It's a crock, honestly, and people fell for it, hook, line and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
