[cod] Off-Topic: The Future of GSPs

[Midnight]

That's not the fault of the GSP, it is the fault of the game for using 
so much CPU to host the server.  Also, with a community everyone should 
be able to chip in $5 a month, then they can easily afford multiple 
servers.  Saying the servers are too expensive holds no water, servers 
are super cheap these days at $1/slot or less.  Just skip buying soda 
with your burger 3 times a week and you just paid for your $5 contribution.

Good luck trying to host a 32-64+ player server from home.  Oh wait, I 
forgot, they are reducing the games to 16 player max to accommodate the 
consoles, nm.

Besides that, nothing is preventing people from hosting from home right 
now.  But they don't do it because nobody wants to play on servers 
hosted from home cause they are garbage.  Players would obviously rather 
pay for quality hosting.
