Sony announced the shutdown of a number of servers for its games back in December including MAG, SOCOM: Special Forces, SOCOM: Confrontation, and Gran Turismo 5. The originally announced shutdown date for the three Resistance games was March 28, but that has been obviously been pushed back.
Replying to fans online asking why the servers need to come down Insomniac Games clarified that it isn't entirely its decision.
@hatcheatluv84 there are a large variety of reasons why they have to shut down. Sony makes that call though, not us. They maintain online

The offline campaign modes for all three games will still be playable.

Our Take
It's always disappointing to hear of online modes going offline. I'm sure the numbers of players still playing all of these games is small – but they're devoted. I revisited a number of online modes for similar games, recently, and found that people were still playing them quite a bit.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
