"Powered by GameSpy"
I saw "Powered by GameSpy" on the back of several game boxes. Does anybody know what it means? It sounds... ominous.

Most games still have in game browsers, though for some games it is better to use an external browser anyway. Gamespy used to be really useful.........I guess it has just irritated people a lot in recent times.

Gamespy
They have a reputation problem I think ... that's probably irrecoverable, without some serious work on their part that they're not interested in doing (as they're something of a monopoly ... there's nobody else I can think of that offers their service, certainly not at that high of a level). Yet another proof of the evilness of monopolies

There are plenty of good games gamespy used to be the main browser for. Still, there are usually alternatives sans spyware you can check out.Comment
