Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ending This Year

Electronic Arts announces the sun is setting on three Battlefield games on December 8th, so they will be removed from sale on April 28th. One of these, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is available for PC, while the others, Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield 1943, were only released on consoles. An early version of the announcement also said Mirror's Edge would be delisted next month, but a subsequent tweet clarifies this was an error: "An earlier version of this announcement included Mirror's Edge. That was an error. We currently have no plans to remove Mirror’s Edge from digital storefronts." Here's word:
As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end.

Starting April 28 2023, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company 1 & 2 will be removed from digital storefronts and you will no longer be able to purchase them. This is in preparation for the retirement of the online services for these titles which will happen on December 8 2023. For Bad Company 1 & 2, you can still continue playing them and use their respective offline features, such as the single player campaign. You can also read our FAQ and Service Updates for further information on the retirement of online services.

While these titles hold a special place in our heart, we’re now looking forward to creating new memories alongside you as we shift our focus towards our current and future Battlefield experiences.

I'm pretty sure BC2 was the last BF game I actually purchased (not including bundle fare which included BF3 at some point). It was solid, but none of them have recaptured the janky magic of the original BF1942. IMHO ofc.

I played the crap out of BF1942 with the Desert Combat mod, in multi with a local friend, and sometimes with bots, sometimes with actual folks. So much silly fun. That's also where I started using what is now my Steam name (well, a long while into playing DC).

BF1942 demo was amazing for me to buy the full game and even its Secret Weapons addon! Then, came the mods. Good stuff.
