To EA/DICE, Give us the tools to play Legacy Battlefield Titles.
I'll preface this by saying I'm 31 years old. I've been playing Battlefield since the release of Battlefield 1942 and well... Here we are again.
More games that people including myself are still playing being switched off and left unplayable. Completely lost to time. Come the end of the year, a total of 4 battlefield titles will be forever no longer playable online (The whole selling point of these games) because EA/DICE will have completely shut down the multiplayer services for these games.
You are once again telling us we are dumb for buying your games. That you can and will void access to our purchases. If you look at BF2042 sales figures and scratch your head as to why its so low. You need not. This is the reason. Why would I buy a game that requires online access to the full game, nevermind just segments. When you have time and time again shown that you will lock us out at some point in time. Whenever You decide. So poor.
And you should know this. Look at BF1942/BF2/2142. Games you chose to ditch, rescued by the Battlefield community, are STILL ACTIVE TODAY!
You keep telling us 'how important the Battlefield community is to you'. But you keep doing this.
If its too costly for you to run these games, at least give us the choice to do it ourselves.
Give us the tools/means/ability to host servers either by ourselves or through a licensed 3rd party server provider:
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
Battlefield 1943
Battlefield Bad Company 1
Battlefield Bad Company 2
