IGN shuts down GameSpy

Yeah I never did like GameSpy either. I didn't use it much...but I heard some bad reviews about it and I just didn't like that entire idea.

Steam I only use because it's one of the only ways to get some computer games....and heck...Team Fortress 2 was free.

I still remember gamespy from Civilization 3: Play the world

That thing never crashed on my once during a game! Take that! Steam, Origin, Uplay, and all your crashing when I'm about to win!

But now, my gaming site of choice is Gamespot, their original shows are simply the best of any gaming site.

I especially like Escape from Mount stupid: http://www.gamespot.com/shows/escape-from-mount-stupid/

You wheren't around when it hogged, crashed and you wheren't able to connect to 80% of the lobbies/servers to play a game and it disconnected you at random from the game.

Thank god for ASE back in the day best server browser app ever.

I haven't played an online game in 10 years, so I don't care.
