Gearbox have said they are "looking into a solution".

I imagine they will just fully integrate into Steam now, they are halfway there already (2 DLC's still register outside of BL and mutliplayer is not handled steam).

Well I guess this is what you can expect when a 2 year old takeover finally starts making changes and eliminating unnesscary "junk".

Funny thing is going back through some old cd games I've found over the past few weeks I've realized I have several games that have gamespy listed on them and I went to install one of them and it asked if I wanted to install the gamespy arcade :lol:

RIP old girl. I'm glad Borderlands will be carried over, among others.

R.I.P. GameSpy. I'll always remember you as that crap program I only used out of necessity.
