It's actually been going on sporadically since 2017 when Respawn/EA abandoned Titanfall 2. Longer for the first Titanfall.
As I stated in an earlier post - I could accept it (not be happy about it, but accept the demise of the games) if EA/Respawn wasn't still SELLING THE GAMES. I'm not a console guy, so I don't know about the console marketplaces, but I know for a fact that Titanfall and Titanfall 2 are still available to buy on Origin and Steam.
It disgusts me. This franchise could be so much more than what it is, but Respawn half-assed them (as good as they are) from the start, and now EA just doesn't give two turds about it, and Respawn is so focused on AL and ignoring those of us that can't stand battle royale games that they don't even give a crap to secure the lackadaisical server infrastructure they're using.
I don't understand it. The ONLY reason EA is still in business today is that they own most of the huge popular franchises. My favorite game franchises are Half-Life, Titanfall, Battlefield, and Need for Speed. Three of those are EA's. As much as I want BF 2042, I will not buy it. This will be literally the first PC installment in that franchise I haven't pre-ordered. I already haven't bought the most recent version of Need for Speed. The ONLY things that would bring me back are if they fixed the servers for TF & TF2, let DICE actually perfect a game before pushing them to release it, and give us more Titanfall. Other than that - at my age - I don't need it.
EA needs to take notice because I'm not some kid not wanting to spend my allowance on games. I bought Skate or Die! in 1987 when it came out. I've been buying EA games since then. I won't anymore. Not for myself, for my children, or for my grandchildren. EA games are a waste of money anymore.
@Magikf1ngers Magic! My man!! .. been a while. Couldn't find the old forum. Anyway, spot on sir. This has been going on for a long while. Typical EA. Take your money, then suddenly go deaf. Is there a decent discord for TF1/TF2 these days? Figured maybe you'd know.
