In 1996, Quakworld was established and Gamespy took off. Who would've thought May 2014 would be it's demise? Just remarkable~ ^_^

Bunch of dbags that Glu Mobile company is. Figured they killed GS when they bought it and screwed everyone over. Now I guess they're really making sure it's dead.

It might have been useful originally, but in the last decade it's turned into a reminder about the dangers of using a 3rd party piece of networking software for your game and how that can end up biting a game company in the ass. Good riddance you miserable POS.

Battlefield 1942 still uses gamespy, unless origin makes a program.

To their credit, IGN has attempted to be helpful in the final stages of this transition. I was an admin at one of the "Planet" sites and those sites stopped being supported a few years ago. I relocated our community and recently we contacted IGN to see if they would be willing to negotiate a price for our old domain name and they simply gave it to us for free with very few questions. It was really kind of them, I thought.

GameSpy has sucked for a long time. A better way has been needed for a long time. I guess that maybe Steam. But with UT3, it was REALLY in your face about "logging on" in order for the damn UT3 to properly load the settings (not a default)... and it was such crap that they also helped cause the failure of UT3.

I haven't played online with UT3 for a long while because gamespy has messed up my account and won't take my password. Maybe EPIC will do a patch... maybe Epic will make UT4 and do it RIGHT.
