X-Fire Social shutting down - SAVE YOUR SCREENSHOTS BEFORE FRIDAY! Link inside.

[Maniacal]

Now, I doubt many people here have used X-Fire, or at least not for years, but in case you do they have announced they are shutting down the social aspect, the client program, the screenshots, video hosting and hour tracking. Instead they are going to focus on the exciting world of E-Sports! Yay! (Yeah, might as well consider them dead now ).

Thankfully they are providing a link to download all your screenshots and videos! Downside is I am currently #6853 in queue.... :/

XFire is still a thing? I remember when it first came out AIM and MSN Messenger were still the big things and all of my gamer friends were like "OMG XFIRE IS THE AIM KILLER!" fully expecting it to replace all of the big ones. Lol yeah, that didn't happen.

Oh man, I haven't even logged on to xfire in like 6-7 years, I don't think I remember my username or pass.

Luckily you only need your username. I ended up closing the window originally (well, I put my PC into sleep mode) and when I woke up on Thursday morning the queue had moved from 6700 to over 13,000 Q_Q Last night it was still at 11,000 for me but I am now #264.

EDIT: Got them! Completely unorganized, great, but at least they are all there afaik. All 1,111 files (which includes 1 metadata text file and 1 video).
