If you're well aware of how business works then why did you even bother writing this thread? The rest of us who understand how business works completely understand why they're shutting it down. And I seriously doubt the termination of this game will be the deciding factor for many of us when it comes to future PS3 games or accessories.
Sorry I touch your soft spot but I was just trying to make light of the fact that someone is so upset over a game that I really didn't think anyone at all played. Like I said, I wasn't even able to trade it or sell it because absolutely no one online or at the game store had any interest in buying it.
I understand where you are coming from, and would think the same thing if I was you. The reason I made this thread was to show those that cared, that there is actually a community that plays this game and this will be the deciding factor for our future purchases.

This is exactly what I'm hoping comes out of the letters sent to SONY. The members of eojmanager.com would like to see some type of peer-to-peer or maybe an open source where they would run the servers.

These factors are why I don't think they should shut them down any time soon.
- This games costs hundreds of dollars for extra cards, camera, etc not the $60 and your done.
- The game has been out less than 3 years
- There are always people online playing. I can always find a match. There are tons of community websites with tournaments and support.
- SONY markets the PS3 as having a 10 year lifecycle. They are also trying to sell the Playstation Eye Tech with new controllers and games, but at the same time is convincing us early adopters that we should second guess the life of these technologies.
i never owned any cards outside the start deck that came with the bundle as no stores at all within 100 miles carried cards. so i didnt get the chance to get really into it. sadly i think its probably a pretty small number playing eoj. while yes now would be the perfect time for them to remarket the game with the move bundles and all coming out i can see why their not. i think most people still rather play these types of games face to face (ex- magic the gathering).

Cool, never played the game myself, but I see where you are coming from. So, Someone would need to write some code to patch in an update then Sony wouldn't have any cost associated with EoJ being online... Is that correct?
