In response to GameSpy expected shutdown of its multiplayer servers, Reddit users have compiled a list of games that will be and maybe impacted.
After the recent announcement that Gamespy would no longer support hundreds of multiplayer games, a BF2 mod and a security analyst came together to create their own version of Gamespy that's open source for anyone.
From The Podcast...
"On this episode of The Podcast the Xbox One get dis-kinected as Microsoft has finally announced a Kinectless SKU at $100 less.
Gamespy is shutting its doors which means that gamers will lose access to more than a few classic multiplayer environments like the majority of the Battlefield series.
Sony’s E3 announcements have possibly leaked out on NeoGaf, and the boys dissect whether this could possibly come to pass.
Finally, the topic turns to the first image of Batfleck that’s been making the rounds, fake veins and all."
May 31st marks the end of an era as the GameSpy servers, the network behind countless multiplayer titles, is closing it’s virtual doors. Hundreds of titles across multiple platforms will be affected by the shutdown, some temporarily as multiplayer services are transferred to other services, while others will be shut down permanently.
Reddit users are trying to generate a list of games that will be affected by the shutdown of GameSpy. Maybe this list will convince Ziff Davis to cancel the shutdown.
What's the reason for the shutdown?
noooooo not red dead!
