When will Madden 20 be removed from EA Play

Simple question, is there plans to remove Madden 20 from EA Play?  If so, what is the approximate timeline?    I noticed Madden 19 was removed in August of 2021, so my assumption would be Madden 20 would be removed in August of 2022?

If so, is there a way you can allow purchasing of this game instead?

    With the game being removed from EA Play, will there be a way to officially purchase Madden NFL 20 on PC for the future?  Even if it is for the full price of $59.99?

    Checking on that for you. In the event it's not, even right now you can purchase copies of it online through retailers like Amazon or used at Game Stop.

    I was only able to find it available for PC on Gamestop as of right now.  I am specifically interested in the PC version.

    If it's for PC make sure it is new and not used because CD keys cannot be re-used.

    As most players for Madden tend to immediately shift to the latest version, it's possible the game will not be sold standalone going forward due to the possibility of the servers being shut down and ability to Support players that may be in need of technical assistance. With limited resources we have to focus on supporting players with more recent titles. Older games may ultimately result in more troubleshooting because of new Windows updates that could cause compatibility issues, which can lead to a poor experience for new customers.

    Understood... as a company, you do have to make the choices that make the best sense for you financially.  Thank you for answering my questions.
