    GameSpy Comrade

    Hi ya folks,

    Does anyone know what GameSpy Comrade is supposed to do for us?

    I was asked about loading it onto my computer when I installed BtS. I figured "what the hell" and said yes.

    Ok. Now I have it on my system. I opened it up and signed on using my GameSpy username...but now what is it supposed to do. It is definately not the regular GameSpy lobby.

    I'm thinking that I should just go ahead and deleted it from my system...does anyone have any further insight into this?

    I got the idea it's GS' instant messenger system, sorta. But not really sure. I clicked no, as I do any time i'm asked to install something with the word "gamespy" in the title

      I would delete it. Based on how gamespy runs its show I wouldn't be surprised if "Gamespy Comrade" causes your computer to start smoking.

      Absolutely MINDBOGGLEING that no other company has tried to edge out Gamespy as the perfered game hosting site. Not like it would be hard.

      What is it with the cyberworld and monopolys??? In the real world so many companys compete to offer the same service or product that sometimes it is abserd. In cyberland it seems like there is often only one company for a service.

      Ebay, Google, Microsoft, Gamespy, etc...

      You would think the competition would be MORE intense considering anyone can set up a website, where as in the real world it costs mucho mulla to start a business.

      Then again, a major portion of the population has no clue when it comes to the computer revolution. I worked for a company that INSISTED on sticking to it's paper based system, simply because the old heads in charge didn't know how to turn on a computer.

      Ok, enough of my rant... time for bed....

            Ok I have it as well and will be minded to delete it. But so far it's doing no harm, so I 'll wait a few days.
