[quote:425e8]GameSpy Industries, a leading content and technology company, and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) , the leading interactive entertainment software company, today announced that the two companies have signed a multi-year technology licensing and services agreement. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Under the agreement, Electronic Arts ("EA") will incorporate GameSpy's middleware into select PC games that feature online game play. GameSpy will also provide assistance in managing the back-end services for EA's online games that use the GameSpy middleware, providing server, bandwidth and reporting support.

"GameSpy's online gaming solutions provide us with code that's easy to integrate seamlessly into our games, and a reliable back-end infrastructure," said David McCombe, Director, Piracy Protection for Electronic Arts. "Once our games are released, GameSpy takes care of managing the online infrastructure, freeing up our resources to build new games."

As part of the agreement, Electronic Arts will also make GameSpy technology and services available to its co-publishing partners.

The multi-year agreement is an outgrowth of the two companies' prior work together, supplying middleware and back end online gameplay support for titles such as Medal of Honor Allied Assault(TM) and Freedom Force(TM).

"Having EA as a long-term partner is an exceptional endorsement for our company and its technology," said Mark Surfas, CEO of GameSpy Industries. "Their standards for third-party tools are among the toughest in the business, and we're proud to have earned their confidence."

GameSpy offers a suite of multi-platform SDKs to enable online gaming, and the reliable back-end infrastructure that has matched players in more than one billion gaming sessions for more than five years. GameSpy's middleware supports multiple gaming platforms, including PC, the PlayStation(R) 2 computer entertainment system, Linux, Apple Macintosh, Nintendo(TM) GameCube(TM), and Dreamcast.
