The switch offs begin April 13th and includes 15 month old XBLA and PSN title Spare Parts. Fans are in an uproar over EA MMA losing online play because of Online Pass fees.
Online Pass was designed to discourage second-hand sales or at least let EA get something from them by having us pay for multiplayer, which EA said was to cover servers.
EA Sports MMA is only 18 months old and the Online Pass will be rendered useless as of April 13th. Naturally fans are less than pleased a paid for feature is being turned off. Of course EA are covered because of those fine print license agreements we all skip and spam with I Accept or Next.
