It's sad to see that Raptr is closing. I love tracking my game time and the other sites I've used just didn't work that well.

Over the last while I've been working on my own alternative. Just working on it here and there but now suddenly it has become critical to get it done quickly.

Will post links once up.

I actually thought it had closed down already. And I mean I take it they were losing subscribers to get to this point.

I uninstalled it long ago when I considered it to have become 'bloatware'.
 
It's a real shame, but I'm not surprised at all. It's been stagnant for a long time and hasn't been tracking most of my games for a while.

Same here. I like tracking game time, but Raptr got too invasive, bloated and a clear platform for AMD graphics

Pretty much this. I like it for tracking game time and showing how much time I've spent vs other people, but wanting to optimize games and whatever else just became too much.
 
I had like 50k points saved up on raptr...back from when you could actually purchase stuff with it. blegh

Also, raptr and Playfire gave us the reward incentive thing to play games....made a nice chunk of change (or games that paid for themselves) using it...

Whoa, end of an era. I used to love tracking my play time, first with Xfire, then with Raptr. Mainly it was so my friends could see that I was online and what I was playing. Now I don't bother anymore since we're almost always logged into both Steam and Battle.Net, and most of our games run through one of those two services.

That said, I would gladly help test and/or work on your service, Soli. Very cool!

Thanks Jan.

I wish I had more time to get to it. Why can't Raptr close by the end of the year? Unfortunately I'm swamped with work at work so I don't think I'll get my site online in time. Will see what happens though.
