I ussualy visit this gamespy to check out release dates.
Today I notice their article announcing that they will close the doors:

Quote:
Goodbye, And Thank You From The GameSpy Team

GameSpy, as we know it, began in 1999. Today, 14 years later, it has reached the end of the road. We had a good run, and we want to sincerely thank all of you for reading and joining in discussions with us. It's been fantastic.

(...) Why is this closure happening, then? It's a business thing, and like most business things it's not easy to explain or understand unless you spend all day crunching numbers and paying bills. Which I don't. So here's the simple version that even I can comprehend: Ziff Davis wants to run an efficient, focused company, and managing several different sites that all cover videogames isn't exactly the model of efficiency. Even though GameSpy had its own unique voice that was separate and distinct from those of our sister sites, and there has always been value in that, it's hard to argue with that logic. Even if it does totally suck.


Shame

Wow, they have been around such a long time. I used to visit that site alot when i was on the Xbox 1. Smile I think there is too much competition lately, maybe that's why.
