Firstly, it’ll obviously close down the multiplayer servers for any game that supports the feature, though games like Red Alert 3<\/em> that still have an active community already have fan-supported workarounds for that<\/span>. <\/p>\nSecondly, it’ll stop you from getting any achievements that have an online component; NBA Jam<\/em> has a couple that require you to play online, so they’ll be locked out for good once the servers go down.<\/p>\nThirdly, and most despairingly, going down this list has made me realise that Mirror’s Edge<\/em> and Red Alert 3<\/em> are now 14 years old<\/em>that the Mercenaries <\/em>games were great and are sadly missed and that 2010’s NBA Jam<\/em> reboot is now almost as old to us as it was to the original NBA Jam<\/em>. <\/p>\nvia IGN<\/em><\/span>here’s the full list of games that are about to be affected (you can see previous fallen heroes at this site, where EA keeps a record<\/span>):<\/p>\nOctober 20, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Army of Two: The 40th Day<\/li>\n
