Whats the point of gamespy then?

[NitroPower]

While i was in a session, a message appeared that said 'you have been disconnected from gamespy, but you may still remain in your current session'
:-?
Then why have a dedicated Gamspy server if it can function just fine without it?

if you stay in the session, i believe it turns into a free flight

But i still see the other people, as well as hear them.

But you are still connected (but can't communicate) with those around you. Gamespy is for signing in, hosting sessions and for communication to other players. The actual session is on the hosts computer.
