2K Games have announced that they will be keeping their legacy titles like Borderlands, Civilization 3 and Civilization 4 alive after Gamespy's shutdown.

The Gamespy Servers will be shutting down at the end of next month but still, there are so many PC games that have not yet found their new homes.

Now, the publisher 2K has announced that they want to keep their “legacy titles” alive by investing in new supporters. So, 2K’s Borderlands, Civilization 3, Civilization 4, and their expansions will all be moving on from Gamespy servers to Steamworks in the near future.
