When do you guys predict online will shut down? The game is dead and it hurts, Ive played it since I was 5 and always loved online. Over these years, I have watched it die and have seen players leave. I used to be able to get a full lobby easily 3 or 2 years ago, but now I can't find a normal lobby with more than 5 players, even after a long time searching. So I know it has to be soon that EA pulls the plug, but idk when, and I want a date so I can be there in its last moments, as it was always my favorite game on my Dad's Ps3. And it is what helped me get into cars.

It is a Ghost Of Yoteī special edition console and is only a couple of months old, from day one, the disk drive has made a sound equivalent to that of a lawn mower upon the startup and loading a game. I never really paid much attention to it at first, but in the past month, i've been more curious about it but never found much out. Today upon startup, it made its usual lawnmower sound, but that sound was also accompanied by a very loud and obnoxious ticking sound, it only happens for about twenty seconds after starting up and maybe 10 loading up a game. I'm really confused and this caught me off guard because I've never heard my PlayStation 1, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation 4 make sounds anything similar to that. Even with the fact my PlayStation 4 is on its last leg and is dying as we speak. I do not really know what to do, i do not know if Sony shipped it to me dysfunctional or if it is starting to fail even after only a few months. I take good care of it, shut it down how I should, and addresses its problems. All I know is I do not think any console should be making any sound similar to that, and I genuinely do not know what in the drive could be causing this, as I said, it is only a few months old and a special edition. So I am a little worried because I got this after my PlayStation 4 died, and only because my PlayStation 4 died. If anyone knows what would have caused this, or if I am over reacting, please tell me because I am really on edge and worried.
