2014 may pose challenges to online gaming across multiple Mortal Kombat platforms as disparate services
formally cease operation. GameSpy announced their impending closure last week; while Games for Windows Live
was put on the chopping block by Microsoft in the middle of last year.
As reported by Polygon; the GameSpy online multiplayer and matchmaking platform used for Mortal Kombat (2011)
will cease function May 31st.
GameSpy Technologies has remained autonomous since being acquired by Glu Mobile in August 2012, operating
independently to the GameSpy website bought and shut down by Ziff Davis in 2013. Unrelated; GameSpy Technologies
ceased software licensing in January 2013, having shut down multiple online servers -- a sign of the direction to come.
Joystiq reported speculation [January] that Games for Windows Live function will cease July 1st. Marked for death last year;
Windows Live Marketplace lead the coming closure, ceasing operation last August. The GFWL shut down will affect
online function for Mortal Kombat: Arcade Kollection.
Mortal Kombat Online has contacted NetherRealm Studios for comment. Rumors strongly suggest developers are working
on a solution, but to date we cannot report any official updates. Share your connection status and make plans for last
chance online matchmaking in either game on the forums.
