I purchased Need For Speed hot Pursuit circa 2010-2011. I bought the physical DVD and still have it, complete with Key Code. I think it was about 4 yrs ago I tried to play it but it wouldn't work. I called tech Support and they told me the servers were shut down and the game would not run without the servers.

I was appalled that a game I purchased can be shut down at the whim of the publisher. I wasn't the only one either. I still have the game in its case with the booklet and the key printed on the back of the booklet. I told them it'd be a cold day in hell when I'd buy another EA game.
