GameSpy The matchmaking client shuts down on May 31st

 

"Effective May 31, 2014, GameSpy will cease providing all hosted services for all games still using GameSpy," the company announced on the GameSpy Technologies site. "If you have any questions about how this impacts your favorite title please contact the game’s publisher for more information. Thanks for a great ride!"

 

 

"Other games (Take On Helicopters, Arma 2, Arma 2: Free, Arma, Arma: Cold War Assault) will have more limited multiplayer experience with loss of server browser, cd key authentification and NAT traversal systems. That said, direct IP connection to servers should work even after Gamespy services are no longer available."

WOW theres alot of great games that GameSpy hosted wonder what will be affected..

 

Here are just some of the possibly affected games that stood out to me:

  • Battlefield 1942
  • Battlefield 2
  • Battlefield 2142
  • Battlefield Bad Company 2
  • Borderlands
  • Civilization III
  • Civilization IV
  • Crysis
  • Halo: Combat Evolved

Worst thing about this is the favorite games: Battlefield, Crysis, Civilization and Arma games, damn you!
