SCEA Sketchy on Axing PS2, PSP Online Servers

GoW PSP 1
Sony was not making a claim left or right if online servers were going to be shutdown. Logic would dictate that older games would fade into the distance, but Sony was not dropping any hints or at least sending a mixed message.

“SCEA has made no announcements about shutting down the servers, so I’m not sure where this website got that info,” an SCEA representative told Shacknews today. “Based on some of the game names it sounds like it is from another territory.”

During a recent update Sony did drop this tid bit:

A listing on Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s website confirms that the online functionality for 14 titles listed in previous reports will be shut down in European territories. No such announcement has yet been made for North America.

Looks like Europe is copping to the fact that they are shutting down 14 titles for online play. Wonder why there is no word in North America, chances are people won’t care too much since this will affect old titles and nothing really current.

    If they don’t get much traffic, there’s no use wasting money supporting the servers for them.
