Telewests broadband and dialup ISP wing,
blueyonder, has announced the closure of its gaming service so that the provider can better concentrate on Internet provision over content:
bygames, blueyonder's multiplayer games service to close
Just over two years after the launch of blueyonder's online gaming service, we are sad to announce that bygames will be closing on 5th November. The decision has been made by Telewest as part of a wider strategy of focusing on it's core business of internet service provision, whilst using other specialist companies to provide content and applications.
Subscribers to bygames will not be charged for their final month of service, so everyone will be able to keep on fragging for free until the power is turned off in November.
Blueyonder customers who have already paid their October monthly subscription to the gaming service will be automatically refunded on their next bill.
The bygames team would like to thank everyone who helped build bygames into an award-winning service especially the excellent volunteer officials - without their time and effort few of the achievements of bygames would have been possible.
