Free-to-play browser-based game Lord of Ultima will cease operations on May 12, as will free iOS title World Series of Yahtzee on Oct. 30. As you can see, it’s not just a PC thing; platforms affected include the Wii, Nintendo DS, Playstation 2/3 etc. A month ago, EA announced that it plans to transition a few of these games after the shutdown, so we await for further announcements. Until then, you can wave goodbye to these games for good if you used multiplayer; single player is of course unaffected.
