    Vodacom chart of solutions:
    Bad call rates = Change colour
    Bad internet speeds = Change colour
    Bad service = Change colour
    No one using your server = Change colour and discontinue.

    Came here to say this. No wonder they think its not viable, a lot of people didn't even know they had servers.

    they had zero marketing. when wage, igame and mweb started up their's they made sure people knew that sgs was no longer the only servers in the country, vodascum? nope. start up and hope people stumble upon them

    Play games, not platforms

    I see, "big" isn't always automatic success.

    I played of a few of their servers and really can't say I'm surprised by this move. Their servers were dodgey and their service non-existent. I feel we will soon be seeing the end of SGS too. There simply isn't any reason for them to continue hosting servers anymore.

    Do people still play on SGS?

    It's now just iGame and WAGE for me, with the occasional P2P gameplay.

    No dude, I don't think anyone plays on anything besides iGame and WAGE anymore. All the others failed to meet the basic need of the gaming community, for example, proper administration of the service and a lag free gaming experience.
