I can't speak for everyone but not everyone running ads just throws up a server with sourcemod and expects to have their server fees paid for them. > Because of YOU PEOPLE wanting to play on MY SERVERS I now need to find some way to pay for them, the nerve of you kids. People don't keep servers up if they don't get filled. If they weren't filled people wouldn't care about finding a way to pay for them. If map makers and modelers are making hundreds of thousands a year from the Steam store, why is it immoral for server owners to even make 1% of that? They don't even have upkeep costs and they used to upload their work for free to gamebanana.com. Now server owners don't even have the ability to use custom items.
