Slashdot points to a recent open letter by UK game developer Rebellion explaining why the online multiplayer servers for Sniper Elite have suddenly disappeared, and why the studio can't change the situation. The letter follows numerous reports that GameSpy-based multiplayer support previously offered in numerous PC games have been disabled thanks to GameSpy's new owner, Glu Mobile.

According to the Slashdot report, GameSpy-reliant games like Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Swat 4, Sniper Elite, Hidden and Dangerous 2, Wings of War, Star Wars: Battlefront and many other older PC games can no longer find multiplayer games online. The only way some players can directly connect to servers is if they already know the IP address.

It was bound to happen at some point.

The big issue here though, is Glu completely failed to mention it, by my understanding.

So.. Halo CE is down, along with F.E.AR, and many more popular titles.
Pretty sad really. But I guess DXMP doesn't use direct Gamespy accounts/systems.. so maybe that's why it is not being affected?

This is what I was worried about mostly. Would be a shame.
