BigBossSquirtle Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) almost two weeks ago, EAHelp on Twitter confirmed the server shutdown. However they failed to give a 30 day notice as stated on the back of the game case. We should report this to the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to get the servers back up Edited July 24, 2020 by j_shorty2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Sublime- Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I don't think they bring the servers back. However, you had almost 10 years to get a simple bronze trophy. Better get rid of your other online trophies before this happens again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iXanon Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'm not entirely sure why you've created another thread when this is already being discussed.. Another thread has been started at EA, people should probably add their frustrations to it (although I don't think it will make any difference). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post communistwookiee Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Ah yes, the good old "report to the Better Business Bureau", a private organization with zero governmental oversight that any company can pay off that won't give a damn about your issue anyway.

This^ Contacting the BBB is a waste of time, because they have no authority or power to enforce change - If you want things to change, then put your money where your mouth is and stop supporting EA (or any other company that's doing scummy things) by refusing to buy any of their products.

Kolm Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I don't want to bring up hopes too much, but last time it was down it took them months to get them back online and there was no communication from their side either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floorkiller74 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Weren't the servers down for several months like 2 years ago? That should have been your notice to finish it if you really wanted to. The PS3 is soon to be 2 gens old. I'm surprised so many dedicated servers are still up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason people have been inspired to attempt to use the BBB to sort out problems is because Splinter Cell Blacklist had broken daily challenges but a BBB complaint got forwarded to Ubisoft who promptly fixed the issue: I wouldn't say it's a stupid idea to try it again with another company or game when it has been proven to be an effective way of getting a game fixed in the past. I find it funny that people use every time EA makes a mistake with trophies as a way of shitting on people for buying EA's games... Sony has made all the mistakes EA has made and @KingGuy420 pointed out that this game has been around for 10 years, which is a longer time than Sony's servers stay up... The thing I will shit on EA for is that anything tied to daily challenges or other features often breaks before the game servers shutdown, but to say "don't buy EA's games" because they messed up a trophy is pathetic.

I feel no entitlement towards being able to earn now unattainable trophies, so that does not apply to me. I personally think it’s quite ridiculous to drone on and on about server shutdowns years after release, and then continuing the whining by submitting petitions, etc. after the fact as if it’ll do anything. Most people’s frustrations here probably stem from the possible 30 day notice not being utilized. Nothing said changes the fact of what I mentioned in my post: you can’t expect anything less from EA, and they are a joke of a company, my main point in the first place.
