Gamespy To Shut Down For Good

Glu has announced that all Gamespy services will be shutting down for good on May 31, 2014. The shutdown will impact every game that uses the service for matchmaking and game hosting.

This shutdown will reportedly affect over 800 game developers and publishers who use Gamespy for multiplayer service. Games like Red Dead Redemption, Street Figther III: Third Strike Online Edition and Gotham City Imposters will all see service affected by the shut down.

Gamespy was one of like the first clients I had on my PC back in the day for gaming.

well since they are leaving just switch everything to STEAM!

Oh No this will effect BF2 servers......I think?

[Clippy]

I think so. I know Borderlands will be affected too. GameSpy was my introduction to online pc gaming.

[Bobby Kotex]

I remember it when it was called Quakespy.

[Thehyph]

The memories, man.

[Section8]

Wow. I'm 31 and I don't even remember it as quakespy.

According to Gamespys website they stopped making their products available for licensing a little over a year ago but now they are shutting down for good

Glad to see this finally happen. Hopefully Borderlands and BF2 on PC will be able to use different services.

[adventureghost124]

No they're more than likely going to shut down. It's up to the developers to make any changes and they definitely won't care about anything 5+ years old

[BattleAxe]

One possibility would be Gameranger, but Gameranger would need to announce support for those games, and I'll bet that they will.

Thanks for the mention. Yeah, Borderlands can already use GameRanger (and in fact, it was popular at the time of release due to the badly functioning GameSpy tech). BF2 looks like it should be possible to add.

Isn't the all digital always on future awesome lol. Seriously that sucks glad I dont use this kinds of services.

[Sarobi]

Sad to hear this.. I've played so many games that was hosted on their servers.

[lociefer]

[noxeven]

Gamespy Arcade

That's what got me into pc gaming.

Gamespy you will forever have a place in my heart.

[DarkBlood]

I think the command and conquer collection I have for pc uses gamespy too oh well

[moecage]

This is why xbone clouds is bad.

[akurtz]

Ouch!

[tigertron]

Does this mean that Halo PC will be no more? :(

[Nodoze]

The end of an era.

Godspeed Gamespy!

I believe Kali was what I used as a client back in the 90's when I did PC gaming. Quake II is what I used it for and the last PC game I played.
