In case you’ve been under a rock, heres a quick heads up: GameSpy Technology is shutting down on May 31. GameSpy has been around since 1997, when it was debuted as the server listing service for Quake server IPs.  The service provides multiplayer matchmaking, leaderboards and cloud storage across a range of platforms including Xbox 360, PC, Wii, Vita, PS3, Mac, Nintendo DS, iOS and Android. This technology has been integrated into over 1,000 games. And at the end of next month, GameSpy is coming to an end.

This certainly marks the end of an era. But, more importantly, it could mark the end of access to a significant amount of games, at least on the multiplayer front. While I don’t normally put a lot of stock in Reddit articles, one sub-forum has been busily compiling a list of games affected by the shutdown. The list is quite impressive. Here are a few highlights:

Arma, Arma 2, Borderlands, Halo: Combat Evolved, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Saints Row 2, Dungeon Defenders (Non Steam version).

Those are just games that are confirmed to be  affected. The “Status Unknown” sections is much longer, and MUCH scarier. Now, before you run about screaming that the sky is falling, a number of companies and publishers have come out stating that solutions are either in the works or already waiting to be implemented. These companies include Bohemia Interactive, Activision, Capcom and Epic. Still, a wide array of publishers including EA, Bethesda, 2K Games, Sega and Ubisoft have not announced plans to deal with the sudden cessation of GameSpy services.

Farewell GameSpy, we hardly knew you. (But I hated you while I did.)
