A number (well, almost all) of EA's free-to-play titles will be winding down over the next 90 days, according to a statement released yesterday.
Battlefield Play4Free, Battlefield Heroes, Need for Speed World and FIFA World will all close down on Tuesday the 14th of July.
The player responses to the news have been mixed. Some people only surprised it's taken so long (given a lot of reports of hacking etc...) while others are angry, claiming that they have bought hundreds of pounds of virtual items over the last five years.
EA were also keen to point out that Star Wars: The Old Republic will continue as it has "a very enthusiastic and growing player community" and that there is new story-driven game updates on the way.
