----
'''GameSpy''' (formally '''QSpy''', '''QuakeSpy''', and '''GameSpy3D''') was a online multiplayer and matchmaking service. Originally developed for Quake.
Following the [[wikipedia:Quake_(video_game)#QuakeWorld|QuakeWorld]] release then QuakeSpy changed its name to GameSpy3D and started offering its multiplayer services to game developers.
When GameSpy shut down its servers in 2013 many games on PC and console lost multiplayer support. Some games that used the service developed their own servers, had community created alternative multiplayer services or LAN multiplayer support.
Launched 1999, defunct 2013.
