none of the games were all the prolific.

Madden NFL 06 for Xbox 360 wasn't prolific? NBA 06? People just bought these games less than a year ago.

Very disturbing. I was planning on several EA titles, but never mind. I'll save the money for something else.

hehe.. oh.. people actually bought those games? Ok.

personally, I can't stand sports video games. If I want to play them, I'll go outside and do that.

After BF1942 I lost all interest in EA as a company. Just to much bull★■◆●.

The single origional game EA published in modern times was The Sims.
Which is a pity, as EA were kick-ass about a decade or so ago.

Don't you think every jock-sniffing, red-blooded American football fan would have a football game for a console attached to HDTV?

I'm afraid to know the actual number, so I'm not looking it up.

Even still, they shouldn't be cutting support. If not a lot of people play, then they don't use much bandwidth. They can afford a few servers on the side with these games' servers. You know what the problem is? I think I do. It's that EA's corporate looked at their Christmas bonuses and figured $10,000,000 wasn't enough.

The game's a year old. That's sad.

I will never buy an EA title with the intent of multiplayer. It will have to have a strong singleplayer, because that's all I'll end up playing after...a year.

Testi, I have to agree. Too much big money.

Is 50 buck worth a year? Although I've not a big EA fan.

EA sucks and can rot and burn in hell for damaging the PC game market.

I just stopped buying their crap.

Wow. Did they really need to tell us \"we don't care about you after you've dropped the money and walked out the door\"? BF2142 was a none-too-subtle hint in that direction.

EA is doing this just so people will buy the new games. EA is only trying to make more money, the company is becoming extremely money graby.

You think EA sucks, UbiSoft is a close second!

First they release Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (and many other games) with the Starforce copy protection malware that proceeded to destroy many user's writable drives.

Then they release Splinter Cell Double Agent with so many bugs that it's almost unplayable (CTD's, no shaders or AA, etc). That's what you get when you port a console game to the PC, idiots!

They stopped supporting it after patch 1.2, but it needs to be worked over a lot more to make it worth the money they took from everybody.

Most vendors will not take back a game either once it's been opened, so I get the feeling they're attitude is thanks for the money you gave us, now go f**k yourself and hack it on your own time to make it work on your system!

Maybe but UbiSoft backs the Frag Dolls and that gives them a little bit of help.

EA doesn't care unless it's got \"Sims\" in the title. It's the only game that is making them money.

Battlefield 2142 rocks! I love EA for it (the only EA game I bought though).

Y'know, I've heard a lot about that, but I haven't actually seen any time that actually happened.

Even though I really don't like EA Games, I will say that since I am a sucker for Command and Conquer, I will have to get the new Expansion Pack for Cnc3, even though I will hate myself for it

their next game should be Sim-Sim, a simulation of running the EA company.

this is of course assuming that such an automated computer program isn't ALREADY running their affairs.

EA Closing down some support.
