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)

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 = $$$

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. :)

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.

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' :p

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..]
