    Not that I disagree with anyone here, but I'm figuring Activision looked at the player counts (WFC on PS3 regularly sat at 10-100 concurrent) and figured that it was time to pull the plug on everything. But with that being said, they did nothing to keep the games alive. Who even knew that FoC existed on next gen? Wasn't it digital only too.. and removed from the store? They don't care man.

    Best case scenario, WFC and FoC for last gen consoles and PC MAY go back online, only time will tell. But the next gen side of anything.. no.

    So they pull the plug on next gen consoles but leave out the PS3 and 360 servers open? How ass backwards is that?

    This sucks all the same. All my fun was in my ps3 copy of FOC and WFC. That was the best online experience I've ever had in console memory since Dark Souls. I pray that this is a sign for a next-generation Transformers game on the horizon.

    'Til all are One!

    ...

    Until divided by HAcKtivision.

    to be fair, the game has not even been for sale for a few years now, as activision no longer holds the TF licence.

    That’s a good idea. But what I meant was that activision actually lost the license a few years ago, so it was out of character for them to keep the servers running for as long as they have.

    Yeah because they decided to, like every other game they handle, not make content for it past 1 or 2 dlc packs. Activision honestly should never be allowed to have rights to a game ever again.

    It was rereleased for current gen in 2016. It was no longer available to purchase in 2018. They stopped supporting servers in 2020. You can still play the game with multiplayer on Xbox 360 and PS3. This is pretty normal practice for the industry. There are many gripes to have with Activision-Blizzard, this really isn’t one of them.

    It's a gripe I hold to many game companies. But the subject is Activision. I call trash when I see it. I stand by my opinion.

    Warframe is a beautiful example on how Games should be handled.

    Right dude, it’s perfectly logical to continue paying for a licence when you haven’t released a new game for it since 2014, and a port since 2016. Activision has done some stupid shit, but this isn’t one of those things. I understand your hatred, but this shouldn’t be the cause of it.

    That ship has sailed. Amazon's $50 key is the cheapest it gets now.

    But at this point, with the online components gutted out, you don't really stand to lose anything from taking to the high seas, if you catch my drift.

    I hate myself in a way for not having spent as much time playing FoC Multiplayer the last half year...
    Now the game is only reduced to its single player campaign. Sure, it's a very fun campaign to play, with a very good story.
    But for most people, I'm sure the biggest fun was building custom bots in Multiplayer and then go to war with or against each other.
    Heck, the PC version was even more so the case, as several people were able to kinda cheat in the character customizer to allow greater interchangability, in the sense of swapping standard heads, shoulders, arms and legs between all four classes, which wasn't possible in the unmodded version.
    Add custom color schemes and even fused body parts, and there was a TON of fun to be had building custom Transformers characters for FoC on the PC.
    And the best part: this wasn't seen as cheating as such, as it was only a cosmetic mod. For actual multiplayer, everybody still used the standard alt modes, weaponry and abilities that are supposed to be used with the classes.
