But it's probably for the best.

It's disappointing, but I agree with Swaffy that you can't expect them to stay up forever.

Also, servers cost money, and lots of servers really add up in
cost. So shutting down servers for old games saves a lot of money. And the
hardware for the server boxes costs a lot too. If I was in the gaming industry,
I'd probably do the same thing.

EA has been known to shut down servers for games, and now Simcity Social and The Sims Social shares the same fate.

On June 14th 2013 the servers will close forever for both titles.

This is not the first SIM series title to share this fate. 3 others have as well:
The Sims Online, The Sims Bustin Out Online and My Sims Online.
