I suspect it won't take away from the game as much as trying
to run that gameserver over a home DSL line with 256K up will, and for
the average private gamerserver a DS1 isn't sufficient and a DS3 is
going to run about $4K/month.
Personally? If somebody wants to host my gameserver and only
wants a Pepsi logo on a wall or a splash screen when downloading, if
they're offering to host it on their corporate OC12 I'm all for it.
Let the gameserver ops handle the game. Let a little
advertising pay for the hosting. That lets the little guy host
his server a lot more easily and cheaply than signing a contract
with a server farm does, and we get more servers. Not a bad deal.
