Leaving Xfire
2011-03-04 1:13 AM PST
I was a user of xfire since 2006. I remember times when there was a 10mb screenshoot limit for uploading, frag statistis for fps that never come out from beta, no video recording and bradcating. Also very small but friendly community that can allways talk to the devs without any flaming, conflicts and problems. I was supporting this program with adding .ini codes, proposing features and bug reporting. In few years xfire growed and become first real gamers IM... after the takeover in 2010 it was all ruined.
First off the new team stop working on real updates. Frustrated community tryed to do something and was talking via forums to the devs giving sign's that the xfire need updates. In response official admin "posted" information in that he stated that there are no new games released and there's nothing to update and just blocked the topic... well in "games suggestion" thread there was something like 50+ proposed titles.
After 3 month's the new Xfire dev teams added the "new awesome" flash-hazard games based on reall cash. Now it's clear that the new company don't care about the people - they are here just to make $$$ and they will do whatever is possible to gain more profit.
"h4hnib4l: Feburary Xfire blocked Raptr from importing Xfire Gaming hours and yesterday's Xfire client update Blocked access to the Xfire friendslist. Currently they are very busy with the full demontage of the Xfire legend and spirit. Its not fun over there anymore."
THIS
I propose all xfire user to move from this sinking ship to another IM - I have alredy did this. I think Raptr is the best alternative for now - its also important that Raptr currently is supported by previusly devs of xfire. I will not write here all the features of Raptr - u can just go to raptr site and check this for yourself. Remeber that this communicator is yunger then xfire.
Raptr site: http://raptr.com/
Also u can find me here: http://raptr.com/AdiJager?src=hdr
I will be not suprised if this post will be removed by admin's - but this will only confirm all that i have writed here.
