with a free membership you can't create and launch games?

talk about dirty ripoff, think of how many players are under 18(or 21, whatever) or have no way of signing up. That's retarded, though the ideas good, it would take a hell of a long time to get enough people using it to make it worthwhile.

Don't forget, people join gamespy today because a lot of people use it, it's a standard. this new deal here, they start with 0 players and want to build up to as many as GS, but don't forget that there's a huge time curve in bewteen there, and nobody wants to be on a service in which only 250 people are currently subscribed too, they'll never find a game.

it's a really hard road to get up there, and this company isn't offering anything dramatically revolutionary or even moderately different than Gamespy.

Don't forget gamespy is linked to the whole gamespy and fileplanet network ... that's a huge plus, especially for registered users who will get access to lightning fast servers. i am not even GS registered, but I get 2-500kbps downloads and have only twice had to wait in line for a download.
