That's a bit like saying, "What? You complain about traffic congestion during your morning commute? Yeah, with only MILLIONS of miles of open road to choose from, I can see how your 15 mile stretch would limit you."
In reality, there are not 64k worth of really/practically usable ports, as explained in a previous email by someone else.
I musta misssed that explanation. Or are you referring to this:
Taking into consideration that in practice, people aren't going to put a CSS server on port 8000 or 43000. In general, most people cluster around 27015 and up. The way things are now, you only have up to 27019 before you run into the 27020 port from the first server on 27015. (And at that point, ports 27021 to 27024 are also in use)
There's no reason I can't put my game servers on arbitrary ports above 1024, even with a wealth of non-game services running. A CS server runs perfectly fine on port 12345 and 54321. (I'm assuming the client, server, and master server programs aren't broken in some way that prevents them from doing what any other program can do.)
