Thanks for a great ride!

Unless fixed, this means the servers will go down for games such as Crysis, Battlefront 2, Saints Row 2, etc.
Oh my god. This gave me so much nostalgia; I remember being really into the gamespy application in my Battlefield 2 multiplayer days. Especially on custom maps
Been a nice run
I'm honestly surprised they lasted this long, sad how many relevant multiplayer games will go down because of this.
Rest in peace, brother.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
Oh man
I remember this in like, when I was 13, Unreal Gold days :v: It's actually real surprising its lasted [B]this[/B] long
Also, doesn't this mean Unreal gold, too, will die out?
Oh god not Neverwinter Nights 1
RIP Worms 3D.
I wonder who'll take over the mantle of Gamespy after this?
Well, so much for Saints Row 2. Volition has no right to even touch the PC version. The company that had the rights is gone.
Aw fuck, red dead redemption multiplayer is gonna to die too.
I honestly thought they had already shut down years ago. I guess that was just AVP2.

okay that thing we CAN'T allow to happen
How am I supposed to play halo 1 now :/
Halo CE and Custom Edition use Gamespy don't they?
Had a lot of fun with sr2, worms and crysis multiplayers. Everything has an end unfortunately.
I played AvP2 on Gamespy during my formative years and camped out at the planetavp forums.
Can't even find planetavp.com anymore, /tear
First knowledge of GameSpy for me was Star Trek : Elite Force Multiplayer.
Wow that was ages ago.

Hopefully modding can fix this somehow, it's the only multiplayer halo CE we have (except the anniversary dlc for Reach... except it's horrible).
arma2OA and arma3 are already planning the steamworks move
so no problems there
I remember looking at old game screenshots on it, games I wanted, and games that have shaped me into the "gamer" I am today.
It's been an honour looking at the site, and becoming who I am today.

Unreal games are pretty moddable, all this will do it make unofficial patches mandatory.

227 was an unofficial patch
hopefully it won't kill the remaining community but at least I can (hopefully) still play in the distant future
UG is a game best played with friends.
I'm sure this was shut down ages ago? :v:
Edit:
Yeah it did

Confused.
Nintendo used Gamespy for its Wii and DS online services, which is why those are also shutting down in May.

GameSpy servers and the news site were 2 different things, just shared the name.
Man, I remember using the client. Downloading mods and games and demos with their downloader (which, for me at least, was fucking fast) and joining games in Renegade. Good night, sweet prince.
This might be worse then Games for Windows Live shutting down. Can you even imagine how many games use GameSpy? :suicide:
Meaning no more Call of Duty 4, Battlefront II, Crysis and the list goes on.
Edit: This will probably become a big shitstorm in the coming days.
