近日，据VGC报道，EA已经确认从10月20日起在未来几个月陆续关闭一些游戏的线上多人服务。
继月初确定的《战地双雄》、《雇佣兵2》和《命令与征服：红色警戒3》等游戏确定在11月停止网络功能之后，EA宣布《镜之边缘》、《NBA嘉年华：火热版》、《格林机枪》和《闪克2》四款游戏将于2023年1月19日停止游戏内的网络功能。
对于停止网络功能，EA表示：“这些游戏都被公司的员工倾注了相同的心血，所以撤销这些老游戏的线上服务是很困难的决定。但老游戏会被新游戏取代，其在线人数达不到峰值的1%，这种情况下就很难继续维持服务了。我们也致力于不断更新和完善游戏中的功能和模式，以确保它们能够尽可能长时间地吸引玩家。对优秀玩法的追求有时意味着我们需要删除过时的功能和模式。”
Electronic Arts has confirmed it is shutting down the online servers for a number of games in the near future, including the beloved Mirror's Edge. EA disclosed all of the games that will be scaled back or shut down completely on its website. Starting this off is not a complete shutdown but a change for The Sims 4. On October 18, The Sims 4 Deluxe Edition will be removed from the Play List for EA Play members, replaced by The Sims 4 EA Play Edition. Also on this day, The Sims 4 Bundle is leaving the Play List and will be replaced by The Sims 4 EA Play Pro Edition. Next up, Army of Two: The 40th Day and Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel--they will each lose their online services on October 20. The multiplayer screenshot server for Dragon Age Origins will go dark on that day, too. Then on November 9, EA will close the network services for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360 and Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for Xbox 360, including the Kane's Wrath expansion. Mercenaries 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360 will lose network services that day as well. On November 30, EA will shut down online servers for the racing game Onrush. Shifting to December, Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings and Super Mega Baseball 3 for Amazon's Luna service will each close on December 15. Finally, the original Mirror's Edge will have its online servers shut down on January 19, 2023. This is also the day that Shank 2, NBA Jam On Fire Edition, and Gatling Gears' online features will be shut off for good. EA said the decision to scale back online features or modes or retire games completely is "never easy" but it becomes necessary as newer games are released. "The development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into our games, their features, and modes almost as much as the players, and it is hard to see one retired," EA said. EA has a number of big games set for release soon, including Need for Speed Unbound in December and the Dead Space remake in January 2023.
