Stoner 0 Posted July 4, 2002 Hey Hawkeye: Â You are correct, you don't have to pay for Gayspy. Â If you want to use their software to connect to an online game, you have to wait for there advertisements to load and for you to view them. Â Then they let you continue. Â Should you need to go to a different game or restart, it makes you wait again. Â How valuable is your time Hawkeye? Hey Ronin:See above pls. Â They get paid to show advertisements. Â They get paid ALOT of money to do so. Â BIS took away any choice of how we connect to the game by using Gayspy exclusively. ASE is a great alternative to that other program, and you don't have to sit there and wait for crappy advertisements to load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted July 5, 2002 What adverts are you all talking about? When I connect through the in-game browser, all I get is "powered by gayspy". That little advert is annoying? TBH, I prefer this over 1.46, where you didn't have an ingame browser! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoner 0 Posted July 5, 2002 Hey Hawkeye/Ronin again..:) Hawkeye:My time is worth something to me..:) Ronin:With the ASE option, I do not have to spend XX amount of time loading up gayspy, waiting for the advertisements. Getting useless spam about how to join a game, or being berated cuz I have a stupid name, or being told by a gnoob that his server is the best online and if I could join it. Every time I go into that stupid lobby. You may ask, "Why not just use the lobby feature in the game?" I play several games that I support and enjoy very much, I don't always want to play them, usually depends on where my buddies are. I like the option of opening up one program to find whatever game I want to play and have that game start my game. I like this option without someone harrassing me, or trying to sell me something.

Placebo 29 Posted July 5, 2002 This is similar to an older thread in MP but as this involves more I'll move this over and close the other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
