I never use Gamespy Arcade any more. XBConnect is a LOT more well designed than their XBox tunnel, which is the only reason I ever used it to begin with. A big waste otherwise, full of ads and whatnot. If I need matchmaking, pretty much any game I have does that for me. Some use Gamespy's servers even with the built in matchmaking though, so it's not COMPLETELY obsolete. They still serve a purpose. It's the big arcade software suite that's a waste of disk space for me.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
