| rdfs:comment | - GameSpy is a website that calls itself Multiplayer Gaming's Home Page. The site started in the mid 90's as a place for gamers to find servers running Quake deathmatches as has remained a top location for PC FPS players to this date. GameSpy was a popular topic on Board 8 back in 2004 due to "Title Fight", a series of popularity polls to determine the best game ever which coincidentally took place only a month before CJayC decided to host the Best. Game. Ever. Contest on GameFAQs during the Spring of '04.
- GameSpy, a division of IGN Entertainment, is a web-based multi-player game server located in Costa Mesa, CA. It was the company providing the multiplayer for Terminator 3: War of the Machines. GameSpy was created in 1996 in order to provide multi-player services for the id Software game Quake (when it was then known as QSpy). It has since grown to one of the largest online gaming servers in existence. The website boasts that it "attracts one of the largest concentrated audiences of young males on the internet."
- On December 6, 2012, GameSpy (acquired a few months earlier by GLU Mobile) ended its listing services for Neverwinter Nights. As a result, the lists of active servers no longer populate, forcing players to use their history or "favorites" lists, or to make use of a direct connect, if they want to join an Internet multiplayer game.
- GameSpy referred to both a gaming website (GameSpy.com) and GameSpy Technology, a division oriented at creating multiplayer middleware for other companies' games. The company started as a fansite for Quake, called PlanetQuake, and developed the QSpy tool for multiplayer matchmaking. In 1999, the site expanded and was named GameSpy.com, and formed the Planet Network, a cumulative name for fansites of different games, one being Planet Command & Conquer.
