A number of old games such as EA "Edge of the Mirror" will be suspended from online service in January next year.

CTOnews.com, Oct. 18 (Xinhua)-- EA announced earlier this month that it would shut down online services for several old games, including Battlefield duo, mercenary 2 and Command and Conquest: red Alert 3, due to a "low number of players" from October 22.

CTOnews.com learned that recently, EA has officially announced several old games that will stop their online services. specifically, "Edge of the Mirror", "NBA Carnival: hot Edition", "Green Machine Gun" and "Shink 2" will cease their in-game online functions on January 19, 2023.

As for stopping online functionality, EA officials said: "as games are replaced by newer games, the number of players who still like games that have been online for some time has been reduced to a level-usually less than 1% of all EA online peak players-at this level, it is no longer feasible to continue to maintain these games online services behind the scenes. We are also committed to constantly updating and improving the features and modes in the game to ensure that they attract players for as long as possible. The pursuit of good play sometimes means that we need to remove outdated features and patterns. "
