theres also a list of game that can no longer be played online
Damn, that was fast! Kind of low, too. Ah well.
You're Gonna Carry That Weight.
Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC
14 has brutal lag and unplayable leagues. Not that 13 was much better. Pretty crappy to shut them down when 14 is so broken. It would be like EA taking all Battlefields offline to force people to buy BF4.
Not very "pro gamer" of Sony imo.
About time. It's been 2014 for quite a while now.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
Expected. Didn't Nintendo end everything on the Wii already, why can't Sony do the same?
Well, it's announced 3 months in advance, very fair. Baseball season will be over, and I doubt many people will be left online to play a 2 year old game.
We can expect a big price cut for MLB 14 at that same time to encourage people to move on.
What I dont get is it really that much of a financial burdon for these companies to keep the servers up. These companies are getting more and more servers for the sake of a lot of things and they can probably keep all these games online features on a handful of servers due to the already low player count. I feel the energy cost to keep these servers up is a drop in the bucket for them.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Is it expensive in the realm of things? No, compared to the whole gaming division, it is probably nil. But when you add them all up, one has to question if it is even worth spending a minimal amount of money to maintain the servers for so few people.
I've never thought baseball worked well online anyways. It has always been plagued with lag unless both people have virtually perfect connections (I've had a similar experience with other games where precise timing is key, such as Mortal Kombat)
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Nintendo had no choice. They used Gamespy as their online service provider for Wii and DS. Gamespy shut down a few months ago. A lot of PS2, PS3, X360, PSP and PC titles were also affected.
