EA ends support for much online play

Today Electronic Arts released a list of online servers that have recently closed, or will be closing for some of the their older games. EA explains that servers for the games listed below will be shut down on the indicated dates. Gamers can continue to play the games online up until these dates, but certain community programs may begin to close down prior to the shutdown dates.

I remember EA refusing to join Xbox live for the about 2 years, claiming that they wanted to have full control of the servers and have control of their games. Is this how they exert that control, by forcing players to upgrade to the latest version of their online games?
