Battlefield Hardline server shutdown is stupid and lacks sense

I'm writing this discussion because of what the title says.

I probably would get mad at EA because of their tendency to kill servers every year. Well, you already screwed up my BF3 platinum in 2024 (thank you), and now, the announcement of sunsetting the remaining console versions of Battlefield Hardline is, well, STUPID in all caps.

First of all, why is ONLY THIS SPECIFIC GAME? And Battlefield 4 that's also on PS4 and Xbox One will still remain? Pfft. It's because it's main developer, Visceral Games no longer exists since 2017? It's because of "low player base"? ("low player base" is a stupid cheap excuse to shut down a server) or because you're forcing us to play Battlefield 6? You already demised BF Hardline on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2024, and now you're killing the remaining of the versions that, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, PS4 and Xbox One are still active consoles. Just because like Sony stopped offering PS Plus titles on PS4 or is slowly abandoning it doesn't mean you have to take that choice.

Also, why making on March 17 a "11 YEARS" anniversary post, and then 5 days later "unfortunately we're shutting down the servers on June 22"

NO. AND JUST NO. That's stupidity at it's peak.

At this point, just make the servers P2P, so y'all company saves a million dollars on pulling out the cable of the servers. Despite it's one of the most divisive games on the series, it still has players dedicated to it.

And look! I don't have a PS4 but I planned to purchase BF Hardline when I had one! But probably at the time I'm getting it the servers will be dead on their grave!

Now also look at your forums. At least give a solution to your users. Some players have issues logging into the game on PS4/Xbox One. And well, seems a solution probably will come, or maybe not. Who knows.

Reconsider, EA. RECONSIDER FOR ONCE.

  • I don't care what anyone says, this is hands down the best fbs game I've ever played in my life.. i spent around 2 months worth of time into this game and still play it every single day! It'll for sure be a very depressing day for me when it's gone.. I'm ready to pay whatever money they want to keep this game alive and I'm sure a lot of ppl are willing to do the same .. I'd say please don't take this game away from us but who am i kidding, they never listen! Today i played BFH for straight 10 hours, i even took the day off .. we have less than 3 months left to say goodbye to the last masterpiece of nostalgic online games, i wish they'd listen but i know they won't so I'll just say:- don't be sad that it'll be gone but be happy that it happened and we lived every single moment of it, thank you BFH for all the good memories and friends you gave me! Even Alzheimer won't make me forget those memories.. thank you!

  • I can't finish anything. I'm having an issue with my EA account that's preventing me from accessing multiplayer. EA support just asks “Have you tried connecting your console to the internet?” Is there a way to contact actual support that can address technical issues?

    Would like to add that its still not possible to 100% the game because the "test your mettle" achievement is unobtainable and not being able to fully complete the game before the servers shut down feels unfair as hell.

    And ea doesn't seem to care even though it affects a lot of players.
