Red Alert 3 is still fairly new. You would be qq'ing right if BF3 and BF4 servers were going to be shut down. Many of these games still have significant communities that keep the game going with mods. Pretty much all future titles will have no Lan gaming, no mods, more dlc. Milk dry, kill the server, make a new sequel.
i just want to point out that in this case, EA didn't decide to close the servers. If ya'll read
this you'd know it's because of Gamespy shutting down. I wouldn't worry about big games like BF2, either EA will actually figure out a workaround *pffft*, or there'll be a community made solution. The smaller games are prob. fer sure dead tho.
edit: technically this is ziff davis media's fault. go beat up IGN.
