GameSpy shutdown sends over 50 EA games offline

The closure of GameSpy’s online hosting services is set to knock more than 50 EA games offline by the end of June.

The publisher claimed it did not have a suitable solution to keep all its GameSpy-connected games online, but was investigating community-supported options for preserving the multiplayer functionality of titles such as Battlefield 2, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and the Command & Conquer series.

In a statement the company added that for many of the titles it was “no longer feasible” to continue supporting them, as older games “typically have fewer than one per cent of all peak online players across all EA titles”.
