Some of those are pretty old, so I guess I understand, but shutting down 2 year old FIFA games seems malicious.
I think for FIFA games it's related with the expired license with FIFA itself.
Seems like poor license planning to me.
To compare: Dead by Daylight lost its licensing partnership with Netflix’s Stranger Things. Players could still use the characters they bought in online matches, they just weren’t available for purchase anymore.
Yeah but the license is literally in the name. which is why the new game is mostly the same but with new name EA Sports FC
