Electronic Arts has quietly begun the process of shutting down its online servers for a number of older games. S.some of them are An absolute classic, some can be forgiven if all is forgotten.
first discovered by true achievementsthe list will contain favorites like edge of the mirror, 2010s NBA Jam reboot, When Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Tim Curry “The only place not corrupted by capitalism” 1).
Shutting down the server has several effects. First, the multiplayer servers for all games that support this feature will obviously be shut down. red alert 3 Still has an active community and already has a fan-supported workaround.
Second, you won’t be able to get achievements that include online components. NBA Jam has some games that need to be played online, so if the servers go down you will be completely locked out.
Third, and most desperately, as I worked my way through this list, I realized: edge of the mirror When red alert 3 now 14 years old,That mercenary The game is great and sadly lonely. and the 2010s NBA Jam The reboot is now almost as old as the original NBA Jam.
