Section 8

Looks like only 1 GSP will be able to host this game. The same GSP that hosts Black Ops. I really hope this trend does not escalate because this is getting ridiculous. Anyway i thought i should let everyone know about this.

So long as renters don't go up against it and other GSP's don't file anti-trust complaints you may see more if it. Kinda ironic that many EA RSPs are getting shafted like the rest of us.

Good thing is gameservers surely will become overloaded with more and more exclusive hosting deals and the quality of service will drop off.

Might sound silly, will anything really get done even if they file anti trust complaints when it comes to gaming? For some reason i really doubt anyone would take it seriously but i could be wrong.

Probably not but if everyone keeps ignoring the problem, it won't go away. It's funny Microsoft gets nailed for bundling IE in Windows yet when game devs restrict server files to one company thus eliminating competition, no one important cares.

Only other way it may end is if gameservers is breached and server files get leaked. Timetofrag was breached last year for BC2 server files and now they are no longer an EA RSP.
