So apparently Sony is just straight up shutting games down with no prior announcement? (StarHawk)

Backlash for what? Shutting down the online service of a 6 year old game that bombed on launch that no one has been playing in ages? Apparently this message has been on the store page for a month and it took until a couple days ago for people to even notice, that should really tell you something.

None of the people acting upset over this now were ever going to play this again. I guarantee it.
Backlash over games having an expiration date.

There's no reason networking has to work like this. If it was a priority during development, old games could keep running online for essentially free. It'd only cost money based off how many active players the game has.
