some of the titles EA is pulling online support from were released less than 15 months ago.
Well that sucks. I wonder how many more games they will end up doing this to.

'06 titles? Come on you freakin cheapskates. Just buy the damn '07 and soon to be released '08 titles if you wanna keep playing online. This is hardly a big deal.
