That's a shame. Fortunately Gamespy LAN functionality will continue to work without their servers so it's not a total trainsmash, but it's still not great news at all. Well, they had a good run.

Thank you must have seen that, even the clicky I did not see. I must have missed it even when I clicked on it.
Thank you. Thank you (you're welcome) ever so much.

I must say you work really fast. Congrats :-) and thank you for sharing :-).
It's sad to see Gamespy has to go.

I think the Gamespy match-making service was sold off a while back. There was some hoo-hah from Rebellion about discontinuing the multi-player from Sniper Elite 1 because it was no longer profitable to renew the license.

1UP is also being shut down.
Also layoffs at IGN.

Gamespy game service was actually sold off to another company a few years ago, IIRC. So it shouldn't affect games that use that service.

What games are affected anyway? Truly no more online gaming in these anymore? Sad. I wonder what will happen in the near future when the 1st server of a game that has online DRM will shut down?

It's hard to believe that you haven't heard even remotely of Gamespy since it's been one of the most popular game services and quite a number of games have used it, especially in the past. And that "such a nerd" stuff is quite a paradox. You are on a site that's about Steam games including : Giving, receiving, discussing. And you're 32 ... You need to reestablish your ideas on what "Such a nerd" actually means.

Not every older game, at least not until after Mplayer and WON.net and various others disappeared. I think GameSpy was the last of their kind.
Reminds you of CompuServe, doesn't it?

I'm not sure, but when I tried to create new accounts in Crysis Wars or Unreal 3 some months ago (some site like gamespyid.com) it was redirected to IGN and I did not find any option to actually create a Gamespy id, only a (useless) IGN account. I guess it was sold to IGN but the service has been in a very bad state for years now. Me and my friends rather played Boderlands 1 via Hamachi than this laggy crap.
I liked the site though. At least some years ago I was a regular reader over there.
And I liked their game of the year lists and their Planet *** sites. Farewell Gamespy!

"GameSpy, as we know it, began in 1999. Today, 14 years later, it has reached the end of the road. We had a good run, and we want to sincerely thank all of you for reading and joining in discussions with us. It's been fantastic."
The continuation is here.
I wonder if the gamespy servers will be also shut down ( Aka for Borderlands 1 and other games who uses it )
