Oh wow, I wasn't expecting for them to choose PB for a game like APB.
It does looks like a good game, but the subscription based part will make me skip this one.

Any chances of this getting streaming or no MMO streaming?

I highly doubt that this game will be allowed to stream. But, I could be wrong.
EB has two others that have PB, but we do not allow to stream:
Need For Speed Pro-Street
Need For Speed Undercover

Ya I'd presume it would be hard considering no one can touch the server.

Last week when I looked you had two options.
Either purchase X hours, or purchase monthly access to the game - guess it depends on how much you play it?

"APB has been a fantastic journey, but unfortunately that journey has come to a premature end. Today we are sad to announce that despite everyone's best efforts to keep the service running; APB is coming to a close. It's been a pleasure working on APB and with all its players. Together we were building an absolutely amazing game, and for that, we thank you. You guys are awesome! From all of the Realtime World staff we thank you for your continued support.
The servers are still up, so join the party and say goodbye!

June 29 to September 16 = 2 months and 17 days lifespan.
Ouch.

Well, that was the fastest life span of a game I have ever seen. Makes you wonder what other games will follow the same path.

Pretty good article HERE.
Looks like a culmination of bad planning / management to me.

Just for anyone who hasn't heard.
EA are offering to replace All Points Bulletin with any released game in the EA Store via the EA Download Manager.
To claim you need to contact them via Live Chat http://support.ea.com/chat and ask for a replacement game for All Points Bulletin. You'll need Java installed as they'll want to view your screen with an email receipt or your Steam Purchase history proving that you brought the game.
If that's not possible I'm sure the next thing would be a screenshot via support ticket, but that process may take slightly longer. So replace your dead weight with a new game
Note: There will be no refunds, just a replacement game and if you attempt to push them for a pre-ordered game they have been known to threaten to retract the offer.
