I dont understand Gamespy and what companies want with them, they are by far the worse possible download site ever created. And I refuse to download anything from them, ever. (not just because of this, because they suck)

[Enkidu]

Because Gamespy makes deals with these companies to have the exclusives. Not much they can do about it, unfortunatly 3dgamers was in the wrong about this one.

Exclusives to Gamespy/fileplanet = $$$

[Hamma]

Yes but why feed into the gamspy machine when it sucks so bad?

[Sadfre]

Gamespy = Evil

well, duh

[Ðio]

He told you gamespy/fileplanet = $$$


By making the download exclusive to gamespy more people will have to pay for the private fileplanet servers.

Of course P2P and IRC help solve this problem.

[Enkidu]

I actually pay for fileplanet, because I'm lazy. You can find anythign game-related and downloads are fairly fast w/o queue....

Of courese, im an idiot though.

[Hamma]

[Ðio]

I can usually find the new demo of ... pretty quickly, free and with no queue or very slow speeds.

I hate gamespy more than i hate AWPers, if thats even possible.

I hate the DCMA more than any other thing with the exception of a small band of beer-drinking, unemployed germans who've been wanting my head for a while, after I decided against being forced into joining their Neocron 'Tribe'

I say we should all boycott Ubi Soft!
Edit: Better yet, if you're into 'warez'.. well, you know [not that I am, but just another idea to append to that..]
