The publisher is somehow retiring 50 of its older titles online after news of GameSpy multiplayer shut down.

News of Glu's GameSpy multiplayer servers shutting down on May 31 broke out last month. As reported by IGN, the impending shut down will affect hundreds of titles including those from EA, Ubisoft, Gearbox, Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, 5th Cell, Koei and Firaxis among others.

Now, EA has announced that due to the shut down, it has no other choice but to confirm the shut down of online services as well. "Online services for EA games on the GameSpy platform will be closed down at the end of June," reads EA's announcement.

The publisher says that its teams have been "working to evaluate options to keep services up and running." EA reasons out saying, "due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time."

According to IGN in another report, one title will be spared from the shut down. "It was recently revealed that "Star Wars: Battlefront 2" will survive the shutdown thanks to third-party support," reports the outlet.
