残酷な天使のテーゼ

Powered by Gamespy(That's literally the middle-ware software name) is middleware used for older PC games to make a master-server for online multiplayer. Without that master server, you can't play. Well, Powered By Gamespy was recently bought by someone called GLU, and GLU decided to shut it down...

Games like Halo PC, Star Wars Battle Front, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, etc. now no longer have internet multiplayer.

Basically, the company is like Microsoft about money on steroids. Except they aren't big.

I'm going to miss playing Halo 1 on the PC. Some good times, it was my first FPS I played on a PC actually.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

I think we should light said office on fire, they have nothing of use to offer us now.

Apparently there are plenty of workarounds.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
-Nietzsche

Why buy something if you're going to shut it down?

Edit: Ah, they're using the technology for something else.

The thing about halo PC (custom edition) was when I would use an external program such as X-Fire( that had its own server browser) it would return more servers than the game's in game server would. I've no idea what's going on there or if those "other"servers would be effected. And don't people have dedicated servers they pay to have 3rd party companies the bandwidth to "run"?

Lol is that why original xbox servers are still up? Oh wait they aren't. People can still play online as long as they know the IP address which isn't all that bad.

It's really too bad your technology and processors are beyond belief obsolete compared to us. And considering this disables us from playing old games in a singular format.

There are dozens of work arounds, where as you people can't even play older games on newer consoles.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

All you need is another group of people to set up servers and a service to host them.

As a semi-regular player of Halo PC this is quite disappointing.

  • 12.12.2012 1:26 PM PDT

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

But don't you remember when MS cut support for the original Xbox?
