    I ordered all of them last night if anyone wants to boost. I think you need an online code for f1 2011 and 12. So gotta buy a sealed copy. I’ll even boost the ones with discontinueds
    where did you order them from??

    eBay. Got some from different regions since they are cheaper. Some of the F1 games that came out in the US are expensive.

    All I play online is f1 and battlefield.

    Never been so sad in all my life as this suggests that they will start taking down the Xbox one f1 games which I play all the time.

    Next will be battlefield hardline and f1 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

    Battlefield hardline had 0 players online the other day which is very sad news.

    RIP to all my favourite games.

    Why did ea buy codemasters!!!!! Worst thing to ever happen to gaming!!!!!
    What? bF Hardline servers are populated a lot, always manage to hop i a match within a minute.
    Hardline servers are pretty dead you can find games on there sometimes but never a full game anymore and yes the other day I went on there and there were 0 in every server.

    It’s probably one of the worst battlefield games as the maps are pretty bad and it’s full of glitches but hopefully they don’t take the servers down.

    Only server I ever see up is downtown 24/7 but only ever 20 - 30 players.

    The game is pretty dead

    The achievements for Micro Machines are already fucked as they refused to fix them
    I was just thinking the same thing. I played this game when it was active and in its prime, and it was a mess. I could never get the maps I needed to obtain certain achievements, the power-ups required for certain achievements, or people to just stick around for longer than five seconds to earn any of the team achievements.

    In general, I thought the game was kind of fun. But the emphasis on SO MANY online achievements killed it for me.

    This is shitty. Also, Playstation's licensing just ended with WB and now they're removing movies and shows from the service, even if people paid for them, with no refunds. A big reminder of why physical media is so important and why these companies are scumbags.
    That’s why I like to own physical media.

    I am surprised that Battlefield 3 has not appeared on this list. It is the next one to potentially go after the ones that get shut down on Friday.
    My assumption is bf3 and at least the 360 versions of bf4 + hardline are next on the chopping block soon. Mass effect 3 might be to.

    Nah, BF3 is pretty active for a more than 10 years old game

    Racestars is a decent game once you customise races. A bit of fun. That Micro Machines game though - eugh.

    So much for games preservation. EA is the server shutdown King. Ubisoft is probably right behind them.

    It‘s a shame that the F1 Race Stars DLCs have been delisted. Would have loved to complete this one.

    I'm not defending EA, but let's be realistic here. F1 2011 is a 12 years old game from two console generations ago.

    You better get another hobby if you think all of these closures were unreasonable.

    how come F1 2010 is not mentioned i guess they are keeping that on active?
    They probably forgot it does exists so its better to do it tbh.

    I don't buy EA games with any multiplayer achievements anymore. It's been years since I have. These guy shut down servers way too often. I don't understand why they can't just stop making multiplayer achievements altogether. Have multiplayer in your games, but ditch the mp achievements. Most of the Call of Duty games rely heavily on multiplayer, but have no achievements tied to it.
