If you haven’t already heard, GameSpy is shutting down, which means 50 of EA’s games will be effected. EA are hoping to offer some kind of resolution for the more popular titles on the list, however, they aren’t promising anything. Many of the titles are old and perhaps many of them won’t be missed, however, there’s a handful that many will still want to play online. Crysis 2, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and Battlefield 2142 are surely going to be missed by quite a few loyal fans. Below is the list of games that will be effected:
