The days leading up to the closing, as well as the end of the servers themselves, were chronicled on the gaming website Giant Bomb in a video series titled "Not Like This", a reference to a line in The Matrix's first movie.

The fifth act of the closing night,
Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
And throw the tough cortex away....”

In waders and peaked cap
Into the showery dark,
A dole-kept breadwinner
But a natural for work.”
