It's getting close to a week past the announced shutoff date. Gamespy is still up and running, no comments on their site, nor any mention on gaming news outlets regarding the status of the Gamespy server browser.

Not a week but rather over a month according to other articles that state Gamespy servers shut down at the end of May. Then you have some games that can still use Gamespy for some reason like Borderlands.

Here's their "Server Migration" thread. Civ IV has been moved to steamworks already but Borderlands is still expected to happen this summer.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on the PS2 is still up and running, mysteriously past the June 30th mark.

Maybe they need to finish bunch of contracts with some developers who bought like 5 years of GameSpy support and keeping few servers alive cost less than some penalties?

Wow. My comment on that GFWL thread might be coming true. What's next, Westwood?
