Game Service (GS) was an online game feature SDK developed by Ubisoft.
It allowed for implementation of user auth, friends, matchmaking, in-game chat, CD key validation and more.
The games published by Ubisoft ca. 2000-2005 used gsconnect.ubisoft.com for online config, along with a dedicated network protocol suite for game server communication.
See dedicated READMEs for service usage info:
