GameSpy Industries, under the direction of CEO Mark Surfas, is the leading online entertainment and technology company. GameSpy delivers live multiplayer gaming and editorial content to consumers worldwide, and provides infrastructure and technology for online gaming and digital distribution to the growing games industry.
As the popularity of gaming grows, consumer demand for games expands, as does the need for game developers and publishers to incorporate crucial online and multiplayer functionality in their games. GameSpy works to meet the needs of both consumers and the industry. To accomplish this goal, GameSpy is organized into three business segments:
- Live Gaming
- Publishing
- Tools/Infrastructure
GameSpy's Consumer Division GameSpy's Consumer Division operates live multiplayer game services and game-focused editorial Web sites.
GameSpy Arcade GameSpy Arcade, the leading online multiplayer game service, delivers superior online gaming experiences to more than 9 million consumers around the world. In this huge games and entertainment community, entertainment enthusiasts gather to play games, hang out, meet new people, engage in voice and text chat, and participate in a wide variety of events and activities.

With a reach that is five times the circulations of the most popular gaming magazines, the GameSpy Network boasts a wide variety of content for every flavor of game fan.
GameSpy’s Business Services Division From game development to distribution and promotion, GameSpy’s Business Services Division serves the gaming industry at every level. GameSpy has leveraged years of experience in building and operating a consumer online games service to provide technology and marketing services to game developers, game publishers, and companies (such as RealNetworks) that are interested in offering gaming experiences and content. GameSpy works to be a reliable partner, with a proven track record, and the company's technologies have quickly become an industry standard in online gaming.
Technology Services: Through its GameSpy.net/ offering, GameSpy provides infrastructure, back-end services and cross-platform game development tools to game developers, game publishers, and companies such as RealNetworks that are interested in offering online games. GameSpy technologies solve common development issues and allow developers to save time and money through licensing technology rather than developing the functionality themselves.
Marketing Services: GameSpy is a powerful marketing partner for big consumer brands as well as the games industry. GameSpy provides effective marketing services to marketers and game publishers looking to reach consumers through advertising and marketing services.
Advertisers can spread their gospel through the Mplayer Entertainment Network, a GameSpy property. With more than 31 million unique monthly visitors (source: Media Metrix), the Mplayer Entertainment Network is the largest online advertising network targeting tech-savvy entertainment enthusiasts. The Mplayer Entertainment Network delivers a range of custom-tailored, integrated marketing solutions that help advertisers reach an attractive audience of affluent, well-educated, ahead-of-the-curve young adults, through creative and compelling technologies such as dHTML, rich media interstitials and the latest IAB-approved ad formats.

GameSpy marketing services provide numerous opportunities for marketers to reach GameSpy's large audience of responsive game fans, from promoting their games with screenshots, previews, and interviews on the Editorial Network, to providing files for download. GameSpy can tailor services to the specific needs of the marketer.
