GameSpy was a bloated piece of garbage

Bloated? It literally did 1 thing, and that was give you a list of servers that you could filter, despite your attestation it had no filtering.

The other options were worse

All Seeing Eye was often considered better; though I remember it being exactly the same program just with a different name.

It crashed constantly, ripping you out of the game

All it did with the game was connect you to the server you selected using the game's own commands. If GameSpy itself crashed after you've connected to the server, the game wouldn't be affected.

You sure you're thinking about GameSpy?
