I hope you had your fill of Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield Play4Free, FIFA World and Need for Speed World, because EA announced their shutdown today. If you want to get back into them though, you have until July 14.
To be fair, most of those games are already quite old by now and EA closing multiplayer servers is nothing too shocking by now, but there is one exception: FIFA World.
The f2p offshoot of that game you usually find atop the UK sales charts, had its worldwide launch less than a year ago, so its shutdown is a bit unexpected and should serve as a reminder on the risks of investing into a multiplayer only free2play.
The other big EA f2p game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, is still going “strong” however (whatever that means for a failed WoW killer) and EA plans to “introduce more story-driven game updates”.
