After paying for the lifetime Gamespy 3D license, I'm wondering if GameSpy Arcade is worth buying in order to play RTS/Conquest games and the smaller-release FPS games. I tried installing the limited version of GameSpy but it seemed gimped. Does it just suck or is it just me?
Any thoughts or alternatives would be appreciated.
Gamespy Arcade?

Gamespy Arcade is pay to use now? I've given up on Gamespy Arcade, it's bulky and just irritating to use. I get into online games considerably quicker using in-game browser. All-Seeing Eye is apparantly better.
If you're looking for the RTS games, most of the ones released have online lobbies that are just as good (and usually designed by Gamespy), so you should just stick with those. Dawn of War and Kohan II work like that.

I actually went back to using Gamespy Arcade for a while. Bloatware though it is, my copy of All-Seeing Eye was acting up so badly at one point I uninstalled and used GA for a spell. It's fairly easy to use, but ASE has a few features I really missed (like being able to find a player no matter where they are or what they're playing).
