    OK so this is just brutal. GameSpy will be shutting down its master game servers on May 31, 2014, effectively pulling the plug on hundreds of titles released in the last 10+ years including numerous timeless classics: GameSpy Multiplayer Shutting Down, Hundreds of Games at Risk - IGN

    So basically, if your game doesn't migrate its servers to something like Steamworks or its own alternative hosting solution, its multiplayer or even the entire game (if it uses GameSpy for CD key authentification/activation) will cease to exist after May 31st.

    Here is the complete list of GameSpy games by year, although note that is is outdated and some of the titles listed may have already transitioned away from GameSpy servers or are in the process of doing so:

    Long story short, legacy titles in the Halo, MoH, CoD, Battlefield, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Crysis, UT, Star Wars, LOTR, NWN, C&C, Civ, Tom Clancy, and GTA franchises among many others will get decimated unless their developers take action. Even relatively recent titles that are still being widely played and sold such as BL1 are affected by this.

    I sincerely hope these game companies see the light and continue to support these classics of gaming history. As a testament to their greatness, some of them continue to enjoy large, dedicated communities to this day. Please don't pull a Nintendo on us. Destroying this rich legacy would be a crying shame.

    First Oculus and now this? Man it's been a really rough week. :cry:

    I'm sure they will migrate, at least the AAA titles will, but this is shocking to read about. I wasn't aware this was happening until you posted. :eek:

    They probably don't have the money to keep this alive. GameSpy ceased being relevant long ago.

    Doubt it. It probably doesn't make financial sense for the companies and a lot of the studios no longer exist as they used to, having folded or been absorbed or shuffled around in some other fashion. 10-15 years is a long time in the game industry especially given its pace and how cutthroat it is. As far as legacy support for software goes, game companies are some of the worst offenders as they're mostly just concerned with pushing out new product and making moniez, not doing maintenance for EOL stuff. Of course that's my generalization.

    But GameSpy-powered games are still every relevant to a lot of people such as myself.

    This is the issue I have with the online DRM. Imagine if Steam went up in smoke (pun intended). I mean really, Steam has the largest PC gaming catalog of anywhere. Millions of subscribers. But I just wish you could just "own" your own games. No silly online authentication. But yeah I agree with hfm, GameSpy has been irrelevant since long ago.

    Most of these you can get already on Steam or Gog or other online sites.

    GameSpy is not DRM.

    But what do they use for online features such as multiplayer? That's right: GameSpy. They'll meet the same fate unless they get moved to Steamworks or something. This is like people wondering what'll happen to GFWL games after GFWL gets shut down, but on a much larger scale.

    I can't imagine many of those have very active online communities. The ones that do will likely be picked up by someone else if they can make a profit. ArmA III though is relatively new and that might cause a considerable rumble.

    Although I've always thought having to rely on a single specific company or service for online play is stupid. All the more reason for games to incorporate local LAN play and direct IP connections. Something that has gone away a long time ago.

    Lots of obscure and probably dead titles in there but also some big-hitters that have stood the test of time. Still hundreds if not thousands of players on during peak times in BF2 and Project Reality and very active communities surrounding them. Same goes for classic CoD and Halo and their mods.

    Nobody's gonna pick these games up because they're old and there's no profit to be made on them. A lot of them, i.e. Halo PC, aren't even sold anymore. It's up to the developers to migrate the servers and/or release the code and tools so that dedicated servers can be hosted by the community.

    Personally I ain't worried about Halo as the underground community is sizable and brilliant and I'm sure they'll figure something out. But for GRAW 2 and the like, the great games with very small but hardcore player bases, they'll probably die completely after the shutdown. With the hundreds of games that'll be affected by this, inevitably a lot of people are going to be let down in the end.

    A lot of GameSpy games are old and therefore support direct IP and LAN so you should theoretically still be able to play after the shutdown, there just won't be an in-game server browser to connect through. It's not much of a consolation though as the majority will simply stop playing upon seeing the empty server list. And if your game is matchmaking only? Well you're screwed.

    Reason most new games don't have mod support or LAN and direct IP? Because of paid DLC and planned obsolescence. :mad:

    That's the GameSpy website which is a secondary site of IGN and yes was shut down over a year ago. But this thread is about the GameSpy online game server hosting service and middleware which is a separate entity.

    The full list of all GameSpy-powered games is in the OP.

    EA has apparently confirmed that BF2, BF2142, and BFBC2 are going to be migrated to a new hosting solution before the shutdown. That's some good news.

    Gamespy, the worst piece of crap ever invented. They got a history of spyware, unstable service, monitoring and was just an extra application that many hated.

    Im surprised they lasted so long. They won`t be missed by me

    Wow ignorant much? It was none of those things and the standalone GameSpy application was optional so almost nobody ever used it. Guess you've never played a GameSpy game before. :rolleyes:

    Something tells me, he never did?

    I found it no better than MSN Zone or MPlay (Which I'm think that he referring to).

    Man, I hate remembering old games that have multiple gaming gateways for a single game.

    Gah, MSN Zone. The bad old days when you had to pay to play virtually all online games. Remember how heat.net's degrees system basically killed them? The internet was a strange place in the 90s.

    I was too young for heat.net. Only thing I remember about them is that they died rather quickly. (I didn't play any DOS/W95 based games online. Didn't get into online till the first 98 came out.)

    I remember GameSpy, I didn't realize they didn't already shut down years ago. I always figured the "Powered by GameSpy" tag was just a marketing line licensed out to third parties.

    Good riddance, the reason they're not relevant anymore is that the service (especially the client) were terrible and always were. GameSpy has been succeeded by a multitude of better options and I for one won't miss it. Servers going down for all those games is disappointing, but GameSpy got what it deserved.

    How was GameSpy terrible? There were so many games I didn't even realize were powered by GameSpy until this happened.

    Would you feel the same way if Steam, Origin, or Uplay got shut down and took your games with them?

    Yeah pretty shady, especially with the news coming out right after the weekend Steam puts it on sale, although if you looked at the info in my OP we already knew this was gonna happen. Steam only just updated its store page with the new info, go figure. :rolleyes:

    If you download GameRanger though you can still play Battlefront II after the GameSpy shutdown. This is the same way Halo PC will survive. Otherwise I'd suggest getting your money refunded through Steam if you can.

    Well sh*t, why can't EA be like this: Halo: Combat Evolved patch will save multiplayer after Gamespy shutdown | PC Gamer

    Halo PC and Custom Edition are getting an official fix from Bungie and community members through a patch at the end of the month, meaning multiplayer will continue to function exactly as it did before and we won't have to use GameRanger (which is a P2P client and doesn't support dedicated servers). Not only that, Bungie was nice enough to fix some long-standing bugs in its 11-year-old game such as the Nvidia active camo render issue and adding support for resolutions above 1600x1200.

    This is great news, and I hope someone at EA is paying attention.
