Fifa 21 was released October 2020. 3 years is how long you can expect EA to let you play a game you paid for. That should be illegal.

If only governments had a backbone to shut down this "actually it was just a license" bulshit. A purchase is a purchase. People should be able to play and host these games forever.

Huh 1943 was still up, was a nice remake from what I recall. I understand the whole shutting down games sucks but this list isn't highly played I assume. No offense meant to those who play it, and it does suck when agame you want to play goes down. I had the opposite issue where servers were up but no one played with Shadowrun (Xbox 360)

With current battlefield you can at least mostly play Bad Company, and I assume golf has something current. But yeah sucks in it's way but free servers and blah blah blah.

Man I played the shit out of Shadowrun on 360. I totally think it could be a competitive game that people would watch nowadays.
