    Hopefully no one here was too attached to FIFA World - it will be closing down in 90 days (July 14).

    Today we are announcing that we are ending development of EA SPORTS FIFA World.

    First and foremost, we know our loyal and passionate community will be most disappointed by this news. Your feedback and support during the beta testing period was invaluable and inspiring. From everyone on the FIFA World team, we thank you.

    Our goal with FIFA World was to create an authentic FIFA experience that could be enjoyed by the millions of football fans around the world who don’t have access to a console or high-powered PC. The result was FIFA World, a new PC experience that combined award-winning FIFA gameplay with a live service. After a beta of nearly 18 months, an enormous amount of feedback and some great times with our players, we just didn’t have the momentum to bring the game to a full commercial launch. It’s a tough decision, but we believe ultimately the right one, that we stop development on the game. FIFA World beta servers will be open for the next 90 days until July 14th, when they will be permanently shut down. We encourage everyone to use any remaining FIFA Point balance by that time. While you can still spend FIFA Points you currently have, purchasing of new FIFA Points will be disabled as of today, as will the ability to register new accounts. If you have questions about this, please contact us at help.ea.com.

    Once again, we thank everyone who participated in the FIFA World Beta. Our team is proud of what we have achieved with this game and we’re not done looking at new ways to bring new FIFA experiences to players around the world.

    I forgot about this completely. I don't remember exactly what it was but I know it didn't interest me. Fortunately, I have access to a console.

    If FIFA World had been successful, I forsaw MMOs being the future of many EA franchises. With it failing, I'm not sure what that means.

    My brain skills tell me that it means that you do not forsee MMOs being the future of many EA franchises.

    Well, I still think that's going to happen eventually. But since this failed, maybe I'm just completely wrong.

    Then again, I see MMOs, or games using their concepts, replacing Madden and the like. It's a little harder to judge when a significant portion of the prospective audience has already purchased the stand-alone versions.
