FSX and GameSpy - No Need to Panic!

[Fr. Bill]

Quite a number of people have expressed concerns about FSX's reliance on GameSpy for their hosted multiplayer sessions.

Below is an email I received from GameSpy that explains that GameSpy has absolutely nothing to do with FSX multiplayer!!! I've highlighted the most relevant sentences in Aileen's reply in RED...

Hopefully, this will lay to rest the mass hyteria which has seemed to grip the flightsim community over this NON-ISSUE!  MSN provides the actual Lobby Servers, not GameSpy!!

We sell coding to different game makers to allow them to easily integrate multiplayer into their games.
