The $2/month figure is based on the hosted service link that Paul
provided and similar hosting services I've seen. If you were to divide
up the hosting costs to the players, that's about what it would cost.
But while I know a lot of gamers, I can't think of any that I know
firsthand that play using a pay host except for the ones that play
MMORPG. And for those, the game publisher runs the servers, sets the
price, and makes all the profit.
I guess there's a business opportunity. But considering about half the
gamers I know don't want to pay a fee, and there are already companies
entrenched in it for those that will, I don't know if you could
undercut prices. But I'm not a business savvy guy nor an
entrepreneurial risk taker, so don't listen too closely to me for this
kind of stuff.
