It's not about lying. It's about support and attempting to somehow let third parties be able to continue to use it. EA said they would attempt to do so, but they also stated it could be a technical hurdle.

Also, Bad Company 2 has never been affected by GameSpy's shut down, no idea why IGN decided to throw it in the equation.

This also isn't the end for those games. I know 1942 and BF2 have communities that will be able to workaround the official server shut downs and continue to play.
