EA is at it again and this time the server shut down is angering gamers who had to purchase an online pass in order to use the multiplayer.

MMA, EA Sports Active 2, The Saboteur, The Godfather II, and a few others that you can find at EA’s Service Updates, are all having their servers shut down on April 13th.  EA cites that only 1% of their player base play these games and therefore are no longer needed.

Fans of MMA took to EA’s MMA forums to speak their mind about how disappointed they are that EA keeps shutting down servers for games that are requiring an online pass to play and are questioning why EA does not choose to use a virtual server for the games that fall in the low category of usage.

Other server shut downs that will be happening later this month on March 31st for users of the iPhone, iPad, and iTouch include Battlefield 3: Aftershock, Fantasi Safari, and Ghost Harvest.

Should always be dedicated servers. That fan base may be small, but I know of people still actively playing games from 16 years ago. Wouldn't be possible without the fan ran servers.
