• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Microaoft Game Spy no answer.

My Question is: Has Microsft closed his server for ever?

If somebody knows something about this, please give me a answer.

Thanks in advance Willi Breihof Germany My E-Mail W.Breihof@ T-Online.de
 
Gamespy was not owned by Microsoft. A company called Glu purchased Gamespy in August this year from IGN (the original makers of Gamespy).

This is where things get interesting. According to some people Glu upped the prices and when publishers didn't pay they shut down those servers. According to Glu some publishers were behind in their payments so they shut the servers down.

This article has some news about the matter and even mentions FSX
