It means that gamespy will run a lobby for the game, and you can either use gamespy arcade or ingame lobby(which goes to gamespy's arcade without having to dl it/install it/run it) to play multiplayer.

hmm, I've always wondered about that. I tried to avoid crap like that.

If I want to play multiplayer, I usually click the multiplayer tab in games. does that use gamespy?

I'm mainly talking about games such as Civ3 and Neverwinter Nights.
