Couple there I have(GT5 Prologue, Motorstorm) Not bothered, not playing them online anyway.
I can't believe they have been supporting such a long list of PS2 games until now.

Better than EA online support...

Might hurt some, but, not moaning. Got to make savings where possible and assign servers to new games.

i find those games reasonable, probably non-played by any1 already?.

Altho maybe companies could simply make a crappy big server for pseudo-abandonware servers....

Anyways there should be a law in this cases, if you decide to drop support to a part of the game, that game should become free (aka download-able by other means ) automatically (in case someone still sells it).

Not sure why, these games still have enjoyable single player components. The only one that hit me was Grid, but I play it on PC, so its not as if it really matters. It was just kind of like "Wow, is it really that old?"

People actually still played the third Ratchet & Clank online somewhat recently, surprisingly enough. Not very many of course, but I'm sure they're not happy.

I was on SOCOM 3 and Battlefront II on the PS2 last week for some nostalgia fun.

Ending online support for PS2 games I can understand, but killing servers for PS3 games?

This is why I strongly believe that when they end dedicated server support for games on modern systems, they should release a final patch for the games, that allows the player to host his/her own server, kind of like Game-spy.

That is why you can still play Battlefront 1 & 2 on the PS2, it connects to GameSpy, and you host the multi-player session yourself.

Nothing wrong with it when the games aren't popular enough or aged and loosing people.

I'd rather them do this and save money, to bring us something new and exciting.
