It's really great to see Medal of Honor on this list. Such an old game, but glorious it is. I'm amazed it got support until now. I suppose the community wasn't too big but still... Kudo's

If you ask me EA is the low of the low, granted these are some of the older titles. But some of them are played by many people. Software sales are in a slump and if you ask me this is EA's way of trying to get people to buy new games.

Developers wonder why game sales are in a slump, yet they keep pulling BS moves like this. I can name 10 people right off the top of my head who don't game anymore. For reasons like this one!

It really shocked me when I read about this, I used to love playing Battlefield 1942 back in the day with friends. There's a guide here if you want to get the original BF1942 working again. Has anyone been hurt by the Gamespy shutdown? I see on the EA service updates page that they are not turning off support until June the 30th for the above games?

I agree that's a lot of games, but they are older ones that probably don't get played much.
