In an earlier post, I explained that GameSpy Arcade and Netscape can destroy your Windows Vista/Vista Firewall/ (and force you to reinstall it from scratch if you have no restore point set and/or a recent image).
I decided to share this blog post with them.
Here are the rplies by GameSpy Arcade and Netscape.
While Netscape reply was all positive, the reply from GameSpy Arcade showed much that they don’t quite bother:
“Hi Joerg
Windows Vista is not a supported operating system for GameSpy Arcade. We have no estimated time on when or even if support will be added.”
When I re-replied with saying that it’s just the installer to fix, they replied with this:
“Hi Joerg
Great suggestion, but one that will not be happening anytime soon. As stated before, it is not supported and there are no plans on supporting it in the near future.”
Then I said, they should at least put a warning as the problem destroyes the firewall if you do not disable it before the installation.
(Will help a lot of people and avoid frustrations like Vista-reinstallations).
I have am yet in the process of waiting to hear back from them.
Taken into consideration that they replied pretty quick in the past – I would say – they ignored my final statement!
IGN Network doesn’t seem to care about this serious problem (which only requires a small fix or at least note from their side) pretty much.
Here the nicer reply from Netscape:
