    Sweats in GameSpy

    Honestly, it would probably lead to the major distributors also having control over that… So I guess one more yacht for Gaben?

    Kinda funny that people on this platform consider that centralization of the service would be a good thing.

      On one hand, I’d love to see drop in replacements for steam services, especially something that could be selfhosted. On the other hand, if steam services ever goes down, there are metric megatons of reasons to reverse engineer a solution. The centralisation could end up being standardisation.
