GameSpy closure
What is GameSpy? GameSpy was a provider of online multiplayer and matchmaking middleware for video games. The company originated from a Quake fan site founded by Mark Surfas in 1996; after the release of a multiplayer server browser for the game, QSpy, Surfas licensed the software under the GameSpy brand to other video game publishers through a newly-established company, GameSpy Industries, which also incorporated his Planet Network of video game news and information websites, and GameSpy.com.
To the main piece of news..
Hundreds of video games - including those made by EA, Ubisoft, Gearbox, Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, 5th Cell, Koei, Firaxis, and more - may be taken offline as Glu's GameSpy multiplayer servers shut down on May 31. This is devastating for thousands of players as many old games, which used GameSpy as a multiplayer server provider, will or may be dying out.
