Well about that. They have already done this with battlefield 2.

Wow. That's quite a small galaxy brain move. Well there is only one thing I can think of why they did it with Battlefield, so the player base is "forced" to play any newer version that is currently supported. In case of Anthem, it makes no sense to me, because there is no replacement. Usually companies go after games and services like these, if they offer an alternative to sell.

I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks. EA is quick to act.
